Add A Touch Of French Elegance To Your Cocktails With St-Rémy Signature

Oft dismissed as a tipple for out of touch sexagenarians or haughty Europeans, brandy has far too long been relegated to the back of the shelf. However, renowned French brandy brand St-Rémy is looking to change that, bringing the spirit to a new generation of drinkers. Entirely French from vine to bottle, St-Rémy Signature is the latest expression from the renowned distillery, with French refinement and elegance meeting in a smooth and authentic yet markedly approachable brandy.

Twice matured in oak casks, St-Rémy Signature is sweet on the nose, with aromas of vanilla, coconut, and almond. On the palate, the spirit is smooth and subtly fruity, with woody notes enhanced by walnut and honey, and just a hint of spice. Its round flavour and delicate sweetness lend it to use in classic and innovative cocktails alike – though we’re also pretty content sipping it neat!

Give your tried-and-true classics a welcome twist with these libations, courtesy of St-Rémy.
