Paul Masson
Grand Amber Brandy
(aged 3 years in an oak cask)

 

The strong sweet smell of oak and beautiful dark amber color makes this brandy very appealing. Hints of smoke and cherry add to the strong sophisticated flavor. For those not used to drinking brandy the high alcohol flavor and burning sensation after each sip may not be pleasing.

This brandy is also great to cook with. The alcohol typically burns off in the cooking process leaving behind the oak and cherry flavors. We used this in our recipe of the month for April 2002.
