10th Mountain Brandy

Named Top 3 Brandies in USA (USA Today) The Elite American Spirit Crafted for those who appreciate the intersection of wine heritage and whiskey-style aging, this award-winning brandy redefines the category. While most brandies rely on traditional "brandy grapes," this expression starts with a premium foundation: 100% Pinot Noir grapes. The Profile This isn't your grandfather's harsh after-dinner brandy. It is a nuanced, high-proof spirit that manages to be both bold and remarkably smooth. The Barrel Influence: By aging for two years in single-use American Oak bourbon barrels, the spirit pulls deep vanillas and charred sugars from the wood, creating a bridge for bourbon lovers to cross over into the world of brandy. A High-Proof Experience: Clocking in at 95 proof, it holds its own in a cocktail (try it in a Sidecar or a Sazerac) without losing its identity, yet remains elegant enough to sip neat. Tasting Notes Appearance: Light golden brown; reminiscent of spun silk and autumn honey. The Nose: Inviting and delicate. Expect a subtle, airy sweetness that doesn't overwhelm the senses. The Palate: A rich, jammy core. You’ll find concentrated notes of dark, preserved fruits—think figs, dried plums, and black cherries. The Finish: This is the "signature" of the bottle. It leaves the palate with a luxurious, velvety texture, ending on a distinct note of warm maple and sweet cream. Award-Winning Pedigree You don’t have to take our word for it.
