Description

The beauty of brandy lies in its aging process, making this element of its production arguably the most important. When we put together the shortlist for the best brandies and cognacs on the market, we kept each bottle’s age at the forefront of the decision-making process.

O'Keefe JH, Bhatti SK, Bajwa A, Dinicolantonio JJ, Lavie CJ. Alcohol and cardiovascular health: the dose makes the poison…or the remedy. Mayo Clin Proc. 2014;89(3):382-93. doi:10.1016/j.mayocp.2013.11.005 The Solera System is a traditional style of aging in Spain, dating hundreds of years, where distillers age, blend and infuse younger and older brandies at the same time – a true one-of-a-kind technique. Solera systems are hard to come by, usually having been used by the same old family-owned companies in Spain for generations, which adds to its allure and unique characteristics. Spanish brandy comes from two different regions: Brandy de Jerez from hot and tropical Andalucia while Torres brandy hails from the Mediterranean climate of Catalonia. Spanish brandies are uniquely made with the Solera system, Jerez in American oak casks previously used for sherry and Torres in American and French oak.

Matías Llobet appointed as Master Distiller

WITH AROMATIC HINTS OF OAK. Torres 10 has a dark topaz colour with hues of gold. Intense aroma with warm hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Complete and persistent finish with aromatic notes of oak Eau de vie: The clear, colorless fruit brandy produced after the fermentation and double distillation period. Translating from French to “water of life”, it typically has a very light fruit flavor.

We looked into the region where each brandy or cognac was produced and then, especially for cognacs, looked at the quality of grape used and which cru its grapes originated from. We took into account the authority and popularity of each brand, its range of offerings, and its distillation method.

For the bartender wanting a rich, oak profile the brandy de Jerez Cardenal Mendoza is a popular choice. Aged in sherry casks, this brandy’s entry level is 15 years. Thirteen per cent had it as a top-three choice, but, given its powerful profile, very few made it their house. Sharing similar numbers was Ysabel Regina in fifth. This hybrid blend of cognac and Spanish brandy could be on the up – it comes second in our trending list. TORRES 10 & COLA. Pour 4 drops of Angostura into a snifter and stir to infuse it with the scent of the Angostura. Discard the liquid from the snifter. Add 6 ice cubes and 60ml of Torres 10. Pour in your favourite Cola. Stir gently, and decorate the glass with lemon peel Its impressive character means this is a brandy that should only be enjoyed neat or, at most, with ice. This sweet and smooth bottle is perfect to win over brandy novices right through to experts. In addition, adds Reynoso, each Solera works with certain aromatic profiles that make it unique and different from the rest. California is well-known for its seemingly countless wineries. So it only makes sense that there would be a great many brandies produced there as well. German Robin is one of the best. Its flagship expression, simply called Germain Robin Brandy, is distilled using Pruhlo Charentais Pot Stills and aged in Limousin oak barrels known for its notes of dried fruits, oak, and vanilla. It’s one of the hardest brandies to find in Australia, but those in America should have no trouble finding it in their local bottle shop.

Grande Champagne: A French district, otherwise known as a cru, known for its Cognac. The Grande Champagne region is regarded as the best and most respected region, followed by the Petite Champagne. Rémy Martin defines excellence in a bottle and combines everything a good brandy should have. This XO is a Fine Champagne, produced by blending up to 400 different eaux de vie. It’s a thoroughly good quality bottle, combining 85 percent of the product sourced from the Grande Champagne region with the remaining 15 percent taken from the Petite Champagne region. When a guest inquires about Spanish brandy, I always compare it to wine, this makes sense not only because it’s made with grapes but also because of the place the terroir, the climate,” explains Belfand. “Spanish brandy is a true representation of what a grape distilled spirit should be. As the spirit gets older the flavor evolves, it refines itself.” It’s a bottle that’s won competitions against some of the biggest names in brandy in the world, and is unrivaled for its delicious taste and strong characteristics. The brandy is aged for around 17 years, with the process taking place in Limousin oak barrels. Wood spices and red fruit are two of the immediate aromas noted, and a sip will reveal a rich and deep brandy filled with soft orchard fruit, vanilla, and hints of chocolate.Vintage: A term used for a bottle of brandy (or, commonly, Armagnac) for when a particular year’s harvest is all that’s gone into the bottle. These bottles are very expensive due to their rarity and age. Methodology: How we select, test, and rank the best brandy and Cognac on the market VSOP: Very Superior Old Pale, or brandy that’s aged a minimum of four years. These brandies are known for being more mellow than previous categories thanks to their time spent in barrels. Don’t confuse Spanish brandy with its relative, Cognac which originates in France and is aged using a static, blending system. Cognac is smooth and round while Brandy de Jerez is intense, fruity and sweet. Torres, on the other hand, is very complex, with lots of oak. This is an amazing desserty classic, with brandy, brown cacao cream, cream finished with grated nutmeg,” he says. “You will bring out the butterscotch, caramel, silky delicate texture you want in a perfect dessert.”
