Brandy

Brandy suits unhurried drinking, where aroma and finish matter as much as warmth. Rackhams’ Brandy selection spans classic cognac styles alongside vinars and fruit-led palinca, from plum, pear and apple to apricot, sour cherry and blackcurrant. Expect options that range from bright and clean to oak-aged and rounded, including grape pomace expressions for a drier, spirit-forward profile. A considered choice for those looking for cognac and fruit brandy with a little more regional character. Brands include Alexandrion, Zetea, Distileria Ionescu and Distileriile Bran.
