Brandy

Brandy, in general, refers to any kind of distilled Spirit made from fermented fruit juice.

The fruit in question is often grapes (see: Wine), but there are a number of Brandies based on apples, pears and other sweet fruits.

While most Brandies are Wine-based—Spanish Brandy and Armenian Brandy are good examples—don't count fruit brandies out. They've got a few tasty surprises up their sleeve.

Try before you buy. Discover Brandy flavors with these Brandy Tasting Boxes.

By the way, for the true lovers of the Spirit, Flaviar offers Brandy-themed subscription boxes with hard-to-find brands.

Brandy
Brandy was invented in the 16th century by a sneaky Dutch merchant who learned how to remove water from Wine and save cargo space. He then added water again and called it “Bradwijn”, which means “burned wine”.
Brandy
Brandies can help digestion, so they are perfect after meals. They were and are still considered medicine. Basically, any fruit that can be fermented can be distilled and turned into Brandy.

Nevertheless, the best Brandies are required to preserve the concentrated flavor of the used fruit.
