ALLENS COFFEE BRANDY

Brandy, a spirit distilled from fruit wine, is exemplified by Cognac and Armagnac from France. Armagnac, rich and fruity, contrasts with the lighter, delicate Cognac. Age classifications on bottles, such as V.O., V.S., V.S.O.P., Napoleon, and X.O., indicate the spirit's minimum aging, while 'Cru' denotes the growing region.
