Aged in oak casks for a minimum of 7 years, Brâncoveanu VS vinars (Romanian brandy) is distilled from wine made from grapes grown in vineyards lying on the 45th Parallel (as with Cognac and Armagnac regions) so providing the ideal climatic conditions for viniculture.

Brâncoveanu vinars is named in memory of Constantin Brâncoveanu who rained Wallachia (Romania) for 25 peaceful years.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 31/10/2020

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber.

Aroma:

Macaroon-like almond with cinnamon and nutmeg spice, creamy vanilla, tobacco leaf and toasty oak.

Taste:

Dried fruit (raisins, sultanas and dates), vanilla fudge, caramel, tobacco leaf, liquorice and cinnamon-spiced toasty oak.

Aftertaste:

Spicy walnut and toasty oak with caramel, tobacco, and vanilla.

Overall:

A minimum of seven years maturation has imparted vanilla fudge, caramel, tobacco, liquorice and cinnamon-spiced toasty oak. However, this brandy has retained its fruitiness with pleasing notes of raisin, sultana and date.
