Arm & Yak Brandy
Tasting Notes
Arm & Yak is a highly aromatic yet balanced brandy, with notes of fruit, honey, toasted vanilla, and citrus followed up with a lingering creme brulee finish.Winemaker Notes
“Arm & Yak is a collaboratively created brandy. WIse Villa Winery fermented and aged the red wine base for this brandy for 2 years in French Oak then local California Distilled Spririts distilled the wine into brandy a single time to retain complex aromatics, using an old fashioned direct fire single wall still. The resulting brandy was aged for an additional 2 more years before bottling. Output was 60% abv raw brandy, which was aged for over two years in a new American charred white oak barrel. Bottled at 47% after tastings to determine optimal flavor point. Arm & Yak is our spirited take on the distinctly well known brandy, Armagnac. Keeping with tradition and distilled only once, this process results in a more fragrant and flavorful spirit. Long aging in oak barrels softens the taste and causes the development of more complex flavors and a beautiful caramel color.”Wine Profile
