Omage XO Brandy 750ml Brandy is one of the most popular types of distilled spirits, but I never manage to actually follow through on the vague idea I have to drink it more frequently. Years ago, I didn’t think I had much interest in American-made brandy, but later tastings changed my mind, showing how the spirit can be just as intriguing to the aged spirits user as other types of whiskey or rum.
We will thus sample some brandy today. I’m specifically trying out Image Brandy’s core product line, a recently introduced idea from The Brand House Group. As already stated in our writings on that subject.
IMAGE is the creation of Julius Grant, a 30-year veteran of the wine and spirits industry who has previously held C-Suite positions for Beam Suntory, Bacardi, Mot Hennessy, Diageo, and Seagram, to name a few.
It combines a meticulous blending of grape varietals from California’s prestigious wine-making regions with a similar “méthode cognaçaise,” using grapes, distillation, and barrel-aging to fill
Grant, Chairman/CEO of spirits manufacturer and marketer The Brand House Group, remarked that OMAGE “pays tribute to the history and artistry of cognac while demonstrating what is achievable with American grapes.
” “Due to the flexibility brandy provides, we are expanding on the cognac-making process by combining premium, varietally expressive fruits and different types of oak to boost flavor while lowering the sweetness generally present in the value-brandy entry.
In contrast to high-end bourbon, whiskey, and scotch, OMAGE offers a more natural, real spirit with finely balanced flavor profiles that will appeal to cognac drinkers as well.” Tasting Notes
