BRANDY

This cultural spirit comes from the Serb-Croatian community. We make this for the St. Sava Church community in Jackson, California and are proud of the heritage involved.

This is an unaged plum brandy that combines a complex array of flavors that can be enjoyed neat or over ice. While a potent spirit style, the traditional approach is clean and tight with the plum coming in late in the mouth.

This is a seasonal product and limited production. We retain very few bottles for the tasting room as most go to the community for which it is made.

A very smooth yet Apple flavor forward brandy. This is a complex blend of over 30 varietals of fresh apples. There are a lot of spice flavors involved including cinnamon and nutmeg mixing with the apple flavor. The barrels impart their flavor along with the fermented apple juice and remember we never add color, sweetener or flavorings… all natural.

The name Visnjevaca is Polish for Cherry Brandy. Darrel Corti, of Corti Brothers Grocers, helped name this product and inspired its style. This brandy is a complex taste with many spices upfront and the cherry can take a long while to arrive. Barrel influence is heavy on this product, and many appreciate the whiskey style notes that precede a subtle cherry flavor. This spirit can be enjoyed neat, over ice or in a cocktail. A favorite of ours is using some Visjevaca in an Manhattan while muddling a cherry before introducing the bourbon.

We work with wineries from around the Sierra Foothills to make our Syrah Brandy.

This brandy provides the melon, pomegranate and berry notes of the wine balanced by a lightly oaked profile.

Profile: approachable. We consider this to be one of our more traditional brandies but with a more approachable profile.

Great for new spirit sippers and complex enough for seasoned pros to kick back with. Our Syrah Brandy is easily sipped neat, ice, or blended into a cocktail.

This brandy started life in the Shenandoah Valley region of Amador County, California. Muscat grapes and wines almost always have a pronounced sweet floral aroma.

The breadth and number of varieties of Muscat suggest that it is perhaps the oldest domesticated grape variety, and there are theories that most families within the Vitis Vinifera Grape variety are descended from the Muscat variety.

Many describe the wine as sweet, but when distilled and heavily aged into brandy, that sweetness is restrained and a deeper flavor emerges. The sweet, almost whiskey-like, oak finish let’s you know, this isn’t your Grandfather’s brandy. Easily sipped as an alternative to wine or whiskey.

A great bottle to gift “experienced” brandy aficionados.
