If you're a fan of vintage spirits, then you know that nothing quite compares to a pre-phylloxera brandy, cognac, or calvados. These rare, single estate spirits are coveted by collectors for their historical significance, unparalleled complexity, and unique flavor profiles. At Brandyclassics, we're proud to offer some of the finest examples of these brandies in the world, sourced from carefully selected barrels and estates.
One of our favorite categories of vintage spirits is Pre-Phylloxera brandy. This term refers to brandy that was produced before the devastating Phylloxera pestilence struck European vineyards in the late 19th century, wiping out most of the existing grape varieties and forcing growers to replant with American rootstocks. Pre-Phylloxera brandies are therefore made from old and rare grape varieties, which are no longer grown, giving them a unique taste and complexity.
At Brandyclassics, we have a range of Pre-Phylloxera brandies that are sure to delight any connoisseur. Our collection includes brandies from some of the most esteemed houses such as (need remove brand name), who are known for producing some of the smoothest and most complex brandies available.
