- Brandy (from
brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn—"burnt wine") is a spirit
produced by distilling wine.
- Brandy
generally contains 35%–60% alcohol by volume and is typically taken as
an after-dinner drink.
- Some brandies
are aged in wooden casks, while some are simply coloured with caramel
colouring to imitate the effect of such aging (and some brandies are
produced using
a combination of both aging and colouring).
- Brandy is also
produced from fermented fruits other than grapes, but these products are
typically called eaux-de-vie.
- In some
countries, fruit flavouring or some other flavouring may be added to a
spirit that is called "brandy".
- Brandy may be
served neat or on the rocks. It is added to other beverages to make
several popular cocktails; these include the Brandy Alexander, the
Sidecar, the Brandy Sour, and the Brandy Old Fashioned.
- Brandy is
traditionally drunk neat at room temperature in western countries from a
snifter or a tulip glass.
- If a beverage
comes from a particular fruit (or multiple fruits) other than
exclusively grapes, or from the must of such fruit, it may be referred
to as a “fruit brandy” or “fruit spirit” or using the name of a fruit,
such as “peach brandy”, rather than just generically as “brandy”.
-
As most brandies are distilled from grapes, the regions of the world
producing excellent brandies have roughly paralleled those areas
producing grapes for viniculture.
-
Brandy can also be colored or clear. Aging the brandy in
oak barrels adds color, flavor and an even deeper aroma.
-
Unlike grain spirits such as Whisky, Vodka, and Gin,
which are made throughout the year from grain that can be harvested and
stored, Brandy is dependent on the seasons, the ripening of the base
fruit, and the production of the wine from which it is made.
