Bentwing Brandy is a brandy from Hangar 1 based in Alameda, California. It is a blend of French and California brandies, with the latter using grapes from Northern California. The brandy is aged in charred whiskey barrels, making it Hangar 1's first non-vodka offering. The name Bentwing comes from the gull wing aircrafts used in WWII. American whiskey barrels are used to give the brandy a rich vanilla and caramel flavor. The brandy has light and pleasant aromas of white flowers, currants, and dates. It has a lightly sweet taste with hints of vanilla and caramel. It is best enjoyed on its own to fully appreciate its nuanced complexity, including its fruity and refreshing medium body finish.
