Fine Art Brandy: These are rivaled by the Serbian negotinsko and vencacko. Two well-loved Slovenian white wines are silvanec and traminec. Maraschino brandy, the liquor in which cherries are bottled for world consumption with Manhattan cocktails and so forth, has its original home in the Dalmatian port city of Zadran (formerly Zara). A humbler, more fiery and far more popular brandy with Yugoslavians is slivovica, or slivovitz, made from plums.Spanish brandy (conac) is a bit sweeter than French and some br; are marvelous. The very best—I'm willing to be categorical on this, thouj I feel incompetent on the general subject of fine art brandy wines—is Larios 1 but it is made in limited quantities and is rather hard to come by. C Primero is another aristocratic brand, and everywhere you will Veterano, Terry, Fundador and Soberano, the last being less sweet the rest.
Brandy is the distillate of wine. Cognac, the best known brandy, is made from the wine of the Charente (a region in southwest France) by two successive distillations in characteristic pot stills. The first distillate or "brouillis" is returned to the still for a re-distillation, or "bonne chauffe". Cognac is matured in Limousin oak casks and the fine art brandyr qualities attain ten, 20 or even more years. The quality of cognac is related to the situation of the vineyards from which the wine is produced around the town of Cognac. Armagnac is made near Agen in southwest France. It is singly distilled in a more efficient pot still and has a distinctive flavour. |
