"We blend French brandy with Cognac and Armagnac then rest in port casks to create Seven Tails XO", so Joel Fraser, the brand's co-founder proudly told us. He went on to say,
"The younger brandies offer vibrant fruit and freshness, needed for shaking in cocktails and the eldest Armagnacs giving structure and length, Cognac rounds it out. We wanted a brandy that worked in fun everyday drinks such as [Very] French Martini, Espresso Martini and Clover Clubs and not just brandy classics like Juleps and Sazeracs or swirled around a balloon in Mayfair members clubs.
"Enjoy neat, mixed with ginger ale of fresh-pressed apple juice or shaken in your favourite cocktail, not just your favourite brandy cocktail either, as we say; its better with brandy."
The blend comprises brandies aged 3 to 30 years, moving to 5 to 30 years in summer 2020.
