We admire the creativity and boldness displayed by American Craft Brewers and share their enthusiasm for their craft. It is our privilege to utilize American Brandy barrels and repurpose previously used barrels from craft beer production to enhance and refine the aging process of our American Brandy. Our goal is to infuse the distinctive characteristics and essence of the individual beers into our American Brandy with genuine authenticity. The brandy is matured in beer barrels for a full year, with a strong proof of approximately 130 to fully extract flavors. We carefully add a small amount of water to prevent dilution and allow the flavors to naturally develop and soften the intensity. Our brandy remains pure, without any additives that could alter the genuine flavor of the barrels. It is non-chill filtered and retains its natural color from the barrel, avoiding the use of boisé or caramel coloring that would mask the original flavors. The craft beer barrels greatly impact the aroma and taste of the brandy, each contributing their unique profiles and characteristics. Sierra Nevada Smoked Imperial Porter, for example, offers a fresh scent of red currant and subtle citrus notes. Its taste is unexpectedly hoppy, with prominent hints of vanilla and malt, and a smooth and gentle finish, leaving a slight hoppy aftertaste.
