BRANDY CALVADOS

What do they mean? In a word: Aging. V.S. (Very Special): AKA “three stars,” The youngest eau-de-vie in the blend must be a minimum 2 years old. V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale): The youngest eau-de-vie in the blend is at least 4 years old. Napoleon: A favorite of Napoleon, otherwise it just designated a blend that’s at least 6 years old. X.O. (Extra Old): The “extra” here used to mean at least 6 years old, though since April 2018 the new minimum is 10 years old. Hors d’Age (“Of the Ages”): Literally… “it is so old, it’d be impolite to ask.” It’s used to communicate a very high quality product. Vintage: A vintage brandy means that the brandy is a single blend from a single year’s harvest. There is no age limitation. — VINEPAIR.COM VS XO the Brandy Alphabet

COQUEREL FRANCE, NORMANDY Maison Coquerel is still producing its Calvados in respect of the Normand tradition, yet using today’s technology. The apples are washed and gravitationally floated to an elevator which takes them to a grating machine where they are turned into pulp.The pulp is conveyed to a press, spread out between two perforated sheets of metal and driven through two high pressure rollers. The apple-juice thus is left to ferment naturally over several months as the sugar gradually turns into alcohol. It becomes cider. It is only after this fermentation process that this cider can be distilled to produce “eau de vie de cidre” (apple brandy).” Coquerel Calvados Fine 80PF / 375ML / 750ML Coquerel Fine or VS is a blend of Calvados aged during a minimum of 2 years and selected by our cellar master in order to confer it strength and freshness, so typical of this Calvados. While tasting Coquerel Fine, you rapidly perceive the fresh apple taste associated with the vanilla notes, that result from its first months of aging in young oak – fine grain barrels. Tasting “La Fine” is like biting into an apple. 2016 Gold Medal Intl Wine & Spirit Competition Coquerel Calvados VSOP 80PF / 750ML Coquerel VSOP is Calvados known for its fruity and floral aromas resulting from a blend of Calvados aged of a minimum of 4 years. DAMPFWERK DISTILLING USA, MINNESOTA We are not just a name; we are a global family that enjoys the simplicity of a good meal and spirits.

Dampfwerk Aged Apple Brandy 86PF / 375ML Meet a more mature Tilli.

This American-style Grape Brandy is hand-made from the cold hardy Frontenac Gris grape, fermented with selected cider yeasts and distilled using a classical Black-forest pot still to capture the unique grape aromas. We only aged this immature brandy for six months on ex-Cabernet Sauvignon French oak barrels to allow the unique grape aromas shine through. Dampfwerk Unaged Apple Brandy 86PF / 375ML Meet Ivey. This European-style Apple Brandy is hand-made from Minnesotan Haralson apples, fermented with selected cider yeasts and distilled using a classical Black-forest pot still to capture the delicate apple aromas. BRANDY FRUIT BRANDIES

WHAT IS A FRUIT BRANDY? Opening Pandora’s box here… Putting it simply, fruit brandy is taking wine, and distilling it! You can make wine from any fruit, apples, grapes, pears, plums, or tomatoes if you will… Our German-style fruit brandy comes from apples, pears, and grapes that go through skin-on-fermentation. This just means that we use the whole fruit, mash it into a sauce, ferment it, distill it, and add water to proof it down. We pride ourselves in the fact that we do not add any coloring, flavoring, or concentrates to make our brandy FABULOUS.

Grappa: Italy’s Firewater

The potent firewater called grappa (literally “grape stalk”) was originally produced

in the mountainous Friuli region, and has anesthetized generations of Northern Italians. Grappa is made from the fermented leftovers of the grape crushing wine process. While it may not sound that delectable, the clean and fragrant flavour of the drink is utterly enchanting. The firewater was long known as aqua vitae, the “water of life,” for its purported medicinal and restorative properties. Over the ages it was

believed to do everything from reviving the vital spirits, warming the belly (undoubted), relaxing the brain, sharpening the intellect, and clearing the vision to removing bodily impurities, repairing memory, prolonging life, and even curing the plague. The only benefit now touted—aside from inflicting raging intoxication— is its role as the ultimate digestivo —TRAVELBRAIN.US

BRANDY SINGANI

SINGANI 63 BOLIVIA The national spirit of Bolivia, Singani is a highly aromatic, floral and citrusy unaged brandy. Singani 63 is unique among spirits to be given both a DO (Designation of Origin) and a GI (geographical Indication). Distilled at the largest singani distillery in Bolivia – Casa Real and master distiller Don Lucho. Singani 63 80PF / 750ML Highly aromatic Muscat of Alexandria grapes destined for singani production are grown at a minimum altitude of 5,250 feet in the Andes Mountains of Bolivia. Oscar winning director Steven Soderbergh owns and imports Singani 63; discovered while filming Che in Bolivia. Perhaps the most versatile and mixable spirit to be found, with bright and lively flavor unlike any other spirit.

For 7 years Steven Soderbergh fought tirelessly to get this clear, mixable spirit imported into the US after first drinking it while shooting the movie “Che” in Bolivia. “Up to that point, I was used to drinking something that did one thing. I was going to have to call vodka on the phone and have that conversation – this was serious.” Soderbergh has even co-petitioned (with the Bolivian government) to the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to recognize Singani as its own unique category, not unlike Pisco and Cachaça.

Top 10 Gin Botanicals What these top 10 botanicals have in common is that they’ve all been used in gins for centuries, some even common in 17th and 18th century gins.

#5 ORANGE …the world of orange in gin is complicated. #6 ORRIS ROOT The inclusion of dried Orris Root likely owes a debt to the world of perfumery. #7 C ARDAMOM This might be the biggest mover on the list in the past decade. #8 LICORICE (CHIEFLY ROOTS) D id you know that Licorice, owing to its strong flavor, and slight sweetness, is in Old Tom style gins. #9 C ASSIA Cassia is sometimes referred to as cinnamon, especially in the United States. #10 T RUE CINNAMON Cinnamon comes from the Cinnamomum verum tree. It is native to Sri Lanka

#1 JUNIPER Juniper could be found at Paloelithic sites across Europe 10,000 years ago. People burnt juniper for its distinctive piney aroma. There are believed to be somewhere between 50–67 species of juniper in the world. According to E.U. law, gin must be predominantly flavored by Juniprus communis. U.S. laws don’t specify the species. As it only says “juniper berries,” Juniper is what gives gin its distinctive flavor. Without juniper… you don’t have gin. When you have juniper, technically, you have gin. #2 C ORIANDER Coriander are the seeds of the Cilantro plant. #3 ANGELICA (PRIMARILY ROOT) Angelica is the third ingredient in the “holy trinity” of gin, which includes coriander and juniper. #4 L EMON Did you know that the lemon is probably a hybrid of a bitter orange and the citron?

These top 10 are only the tip of the iceberg… Sorry, Lavender. Maybe next year. — THEGINISIN.COM
