Garnet color. Aromas and flavors of port wine and chocolate, cherry cough syrup, cocoa nibs, and clove with a light-to-medium body and a short-to-medium finish imparting notes of candied pecan in a cassis syrup, anise, toasted coconut, and peppermint. Would make for a perfect after dinner sipper on its own or paired with chocolate, caramel, and nut desserts.

Everything else is flavored these days, so why not brandies? There products are made in several countries, including France and the US; flavors include apricot, cassis, orange and honey; dryness levels vary. Quality and complexity are impressive; these products are meant for exotic cocktails.
