A classic French Brandy!
Raynal VSOP Rare Old French Brandy is a refined blend crafted from select eaux-de-vie distilled from the finest French grapes and patiently matured in oak casks to achieve its signature smoothness. With a deep amber hue, it offers inviting aromas of dried fruit, toasted almonds, and vanilla, leading to a rounded palate of caramel, baking spice, and subtle oak. Balanced and elegant, this VSOP delivers a warm, lingering finish that makes it perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as the foundation of elevated cocktails. A timeless expression of French brandy-making tradition, Raynal VSOP embodies both rarity and refinement in every glass.
What is the difference between Cognac and Brandy?
French Brandy is a broad category that refers to grape-based spirits made anywhere in France, with no strict geographic or production requirements beyond being distilled from wine. Cognac, however, is a specific type of French Brandy that must be produced in the Cognac region, distilled twice in copper pot stills, and aged in French oak for at least two years. While French Brandy offers wide diversity in style, flavor, and price, Cognac is more tightly regulated, carrying legally protected designations like VS, VSOP, and XO that indicate minimum aging requirements.
In short: all Cognac is French Brandy, but not all French Brandy is Cognac.
