Brandy · 13 wines

A spirit distilled from wine or fermented fruit. The best-known styles are Cognac and Armagnac from France — both distilled from wine and oak-aged — while fruit brandies are made from apples, pears and other fruit.

They're Cognac (and often brandy) ageing grades: VS is the youngest, VSOP older and smoother, XO the oldest and most complex. More age generally means a rounder, richer spirit.

We offer a 365-day return policy — a full year to return unopened bottles, which is far longer than most independent merchants. To be eligible, items must be unopened, unused and in their original packaging. Return postage is arranged by you (we recommend a tracked service), and once we've received and inspected the return we'll refund your original payment method within five business days. Sale items and gift cards can't be returned.

Every order is packed in specialist wine packaging built for safe transit, so breakages are rare — and fully covered when they do happen.
