Calistoga Star Aged Fine Brandy California

The Calistoga Star Barrel Aged Fine Brandy is a refined spirit that brings together the elegance of California’s premier grape varietals with the depth of extended barrel aging. This brandy is crafted with a blend of eaux de vies aged between 7 and 15 years, showcasing the unique flavors and characteristics of five distinct grapes. Each varietal contributes to the brandy’s rich tapestry of taste, imparting layers of fruit, floral notes, and a smooth, velvety texture.

The barrel aging adds an extraordinary depth, creating a luxurious profile that balances vibrant fruitiness with mature, nuanced flavors. Aromas of ripe orchard fruit, vanilla, and a gentle touch of spice greet you with each pour, offering a preview of the richness that awaits.
