A & G Cherry Brandy Reserve
Other Brandy
Michigan, USA
RARE
A & G is the distilling label for Lake Michigan Shore Apellation’s St. Julian winery. Among grapes and apples a bit of cherries are grown.
In this brandy the Montmorency, Meteor, and Balleton varieties are used. A&G is lucky enough to have a Carl-still which is the golden standard in craft distillation. After passing through the stills, the spirit rests for at least a year in a toasted French oak barrel.

Tasting Notes
"The first thing one notices pouring this brandy is the opaque red/brown color that suggests a very active barrel or perhaps the edition of fruit juice or wine. The aromas are quite invigorating with a crunchy cherry preserve character and a bit of a nuttiness reminiscent of toasted almonds. The palate shows lively acidity which balances the sweet stone fruit and barrel elements quite nicely. The finish is snappy, with acid providing a needed crispness and allowing the rich, sweet red-fruit and sherry elements to linger without being cloying."
