Ciroc VS French brandy - 750mi

Product Information

Born from generations of winemakers and distillers dating back to the 15th century, Jean-Sebastien Robicquet, the Master Distiller of CîROC, carries the art of distilling in his veins and is based in France in the renowned wine region of Bordeaux. Ciroc VS Fine French Brandy is a very special spirit crafted from fine grapes grown in the South of France, an area known for time-honored quality and craftsmanship. All reviews are evaluated within the context of their specific spirit classification as specified above. With added ice, though, that bitterness thankfully is significantly reduced and leaves most of the rest of the flavors in tact. Repeated trips to the well reveal some dark chocolate or cocoa nibs in there, with a bit of bitterness and a little more depth and richness to the flavor profile.

By incorporating this classy touch, Sean Combs challenges consumers of Cîroc vodka to adapt to mature brandies.v=1669377411","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32234591584569,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0. At this point, I’m getting more darker and richer components like dried fruits — apricots, figs, raisins, plums . When taken neat, there’s a little bit of bitterness and bite in the flavor profile that might be a touch unpleasant.

It encoded itself to me as burnt brown sugar and cocoa nibs, which do a good job of providing some depth and richness but the bitterness is an unfortunate side effect. The American rapper, recording artist, and record producer single handedly brought this brand from obscurity into mainstream consciousness, but there is far more to this brand than it’s famous fan. The Robicquet family has been growing grapes and making wine in France since at least the 17th century. Slightly burnt brown sugar or toffee is the next flavor to arrive, supported by a hint of crisp apple, vanilla, and some baking spices. Ciroc continues to be a popular brand of vodka in the United States and has expanded to other types of spirits as well, and remains owned by Diageo.

Crafted from fine French grapes and distilled in the south of France in traditional Alembic copper pot stills, our brandy offers unparalleled smoothness and elegance. The flavors present in this bottle are tasty and well chosen, with a good mix of depth and richness combined with some spicier and fruity notes. v=1650103891","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":6698750771251,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1. My biggest complaint is that they all seem to be maturation flavors (dried fruit, caramel, brown sugar, dark chocolate, etc) picked up from the barrels themselves and not necessarily picked up from the raw materials.

These grapes are then shredded and pressed to release the juice from within the fruit, which is a naturally sugary liquid which will readily and spontaneously ferment even without the typical addition of lab grown yeast. CÎROC is already famous for its legendary grape-based vodka, but the brand has now spread its wings into the exclusive world of French brandy.

Something to note here is that while this is a “French brandy”, there is no claim whatsoever that this is a cognac or armagnac or calvados or any other kind of specific, protected form of French brandy. Our spirits are made from fine French grapes, specially selected to embody a distinctive flavor with an exceptionally fresh taste. Cîroc VS Brandy is perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the base for elegant and refined cocktails. Perfect serve – A simple serve over ice or neat will highlight the sophistication and smooth finish of CÎROC VS Brandy.

What I think happened is that these distilleries created an over-proof high alcohol spirit to maximize their revenue, which distilled out a lot of those lighter and more complex flavors. v=1596112823","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"This is a full-bodied whisky distinctive for its intense smokiness and layers of spice. id":1791346868275,"title":"Johnnie Walker Double Black Label 70cl","handle":"johnnie-walker-double-black-label-70cl","description":"This is a full-bodied whisky distinctive for its intense smokiness and layers of spice.The fact that it is labeled as a “French brandy” (a blend of different distilled grape juices all combined together) seems like the perfect environment for the creation of a pretty mediocre spirit at best.
