BRANDY BENCHMARK

APPLE PIE BARS WITH COGNAC P. 192

Hennessy VS Cognac LCBO 8284, $75.15 The vibrant notes of toasted

almond, fresh grape and citrus zest in this young Cognac stand out in cocktails and make it wonderful to sip alongside baked holiday treats from Italian biscotti to marmalade-dotted shortbread.

HIBISCUS SIDECAR P. 191

A Splash and a Dash of Cognac The luxurious connotations and rich, indulgent taste of Cognac set the tone for elegant, festive occasions. The world-renowned aged grape brandy from Southwest France is typically enjoyed neat, at room temperature, in a tulip shaped glass or snifter. Brandy is also a common ingredient in mulled wine, and Cognac dials the flavour of the holiday favourite up to opulent levels. With notes of roasted nuts, citrus and vanilla, it shines in both citrusy, herbal cocktails and rich fruit desserts, like our apple pie bars.

Courvoisier VS Cognac LCBO 1925, $69.95

VS Cognac is matured for at least 2 years, and this blend brings floral aromas and flavours of ripe fruit, expertly balanced with subtle oak spice. It’s as lovely to sip over ice as it is over ice cream.
