Brandy

Brandy remains a pillar of the fine spirits market, valued for its heritage, meticulous production process and richness of flavour. This distilled spirit is made from a fruit-based wine — predominantly grape, though some varieties utilise other fruits. Houses such as Hennessy, Rémy Martin, Martell and Courvoisier continue to shape the category, with popular styles of fine brandy including Cognac, Armagnac, Calvados and Brandy de Jerez.
