This 6 year aged brandy displays an incredible complexity that can only be gained from its extended aging period. The outcome is an intricate and unmistakable essence of floral honeysuckle, mandarin, and pear, complemented by caramel and toasted oak undertones from the barrel. The finish is velvety and voluminous. Enjoy neat or over ice to experience the peak rarity and maturity of this next level Brandy.
