Brandies, such as Armagnac and Cognac from France, are distilled from a fermented mash. Another well-known French brandy is Calvados, which is made in the Normandy region using apples or pears. In the United States, applejack blends apple brandy and neutral spirits. Other brandy styles found worldwide include pisco, made in Peru and Chile from aromatic grapes, and eau-de-vie, a type popular in the European Alps that is produced by distilling fermented fruit mash without aging it before bottling.
Vermouth is an aromatic fortified wine flavored with botanicals. Dry vermouth is a staple in martinis. Sweet vermouth, which is red, is best known as whiskey’s partner in Manhattan. A Bianco or French blanc is slightly sweeter than dry vermouth; a rosé or rosato vermouth is pink with a spicy flavor. Unlike other red vermouths, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino has a drier, more complex flavor.
