American BrandyProduced in the US, this is usually referring to brandy distilled from grape-based wine. If the producer uses other fruit, it must be stated on the label. If aged under two years in oak, it must state the word "immature" on the label. Beyond that, labels such as VS, VSOP, and XO mean little as the brands themselves dictate what that means to them.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is hoppy, floral and fragrant, with citrus zest, hay, and spicy notes. The palate showcases oak with toffee, and malty sweetness. It's rich upfront, then turns dry on the back palate and finish. Oily. Finish carries through from the nose, with zesty, hoppy and floral notes. Turns bitter and astringent at its close, leaving the tongue tingling and a remaining bitterness. Of the series, the most beer-heavy influence. Ice softens and lightens the profile substantially."
