Tasting Notes

Christian Brothers VS (Very Smooth) Brandy is a classic American brandy, aged in oak casks to develop a mellow, approachable profile. The nose opens with aromas of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit accented by gentle oak. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded, offering flavors of honey, toffee, and raisin balanced by hints of spice and roasted nuts. The body is medium and soft, leading into a clean, lingering finish of oak, caramel, and subtle sweetness.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with roasted almonds, charcuterie, or spiced pecans. For a main course, it complements glazed ham, roasted chicken, or pork tenderloin with apple compote. In the cheese course, creamy brie, Havarti, or aged gouda balance its smooth sweetness. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with bread pudding, apple tart, or chocolate mousse.
