Is there a more seasonal, winter sipper? There’s something about curling up near the fireplace with a snifter of amber elixir that feels so right this time of year. Cozy up with one of these next time you need some truly relaxing downtime. —Catherine Dunwoody
So chic. Hennessy VS Gold Limited Edition is exclusive to BC Liquor stores for the holidays, and a classic cognac that makes a lovely gift as well in this brushed gold bottle. With first notes of toast and roasted almond followed by creamy vanilla and a deep floral finish, this is the definition of sippable silk.
Vecchia Romagna Brandy is smooth Italian with an antique coppery colour, hints of tropical fruit, cinnamon, cloves and a pleasant finish. Well priced too.
Miguel Torres 10 is a Spanish, award-winning brandy that’s a mainstay at bars around the globe. It’s deep amber hue swirled in your glass releases cinnamon, vanilla and a finish of oak.
St. Remy XO is called out often by spirits experts as a French brandy that offers great value for a modest price and consistently wins awards. Vanilla, oak, hints of gingerbread, dates, figs and nuts add to its complexity.
Courvoisier VS is a cognac staple in many home bar carts, with its subtle French pastry notes, (think brown butter and baked fruit) and pleasant finish. Bury your nose deep in that snifter as you sip.
