FAQ: What is Armagnac?

Armagnac is a distilled brandy from the Gascony region in southwest France. It's typically produced using a continuous still, resulting in a robust and complex spirit. Armagnac is often aged in oak barrels, which imparts additional flavors and character.

FAQ: How is Calvados different from other brandies?

Calvados is an apple brandy from the Normandy region in France. It's made by fermenting apple cider and distilling it into a spirit that is then aged in oak barrels. The result is a fruity, aromatic brandy with a distinctive apple flavor.

FAQ: What does VSOP mean on a Cognac label?

VSOP stands for "Very Superior Old Pale," indicating that the youngest brandy in the blend has been aged for at least four years. This aging process imparts a smoother, more refined flavor profile to the Cognac.
