After a long dinner, a small glass of brandy is a calm way to finish. This list brings together cognac, Armagnac, apple brandy and grappa, drawn from what we have in stock at The Wild Duck in Boston and what sells here. Pour a small measure neat, or serve it alongside pie or dark chocolate, and sip it slowly.
A VSOP cognac from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, suited to sipping neat after the meal.
An Armagnac from Bas-Armagnac in Gascony, aged twelve years, with a rustic character that suits a slow digestif.
An XO sits at the top of the standard cognac age tiers, made for slow sipping once the plates are cleared.
A twelve-year apple brandy, a fruit-led alternative to grape brandy that pairs naturally with apple or pumpkin pie.
An apple brandy from the calvados tradition, a classic after a rich meal and good with baked apple desserts.
A VSOP cognac bottled at 40% ABV by Baron Otard in the Cognac region of France, easy to sip neat.
A VSOP cognac, so the youngest eau-de-vie has at least four years in oak; good neat after dinner.
A VSOP cognac with the extra oak age of that tier, smooth enough to sip neat after dinner.
A grappa distilled from winemaking pomace, a bold Italian digestif that is distinct from grape brandy.
A mid-ladder VSOP cognac, a step up from VS and a steady choice to pour neat or beside dark chocolate.
