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
"A citrusy combination of lemons and tangerines are on the nose along with a green characteristic including fresh wild herbs and mint. The palate is soft, with cocoa powder, caramel and bitter baking chocolate. The finish is short, with tannic oak and vanilla saltwater taffy, and stewed fruits in syrup."
