Germain-Robin/Alambic was founded in the early 80s by Hubert Germain-Robin and Ansley Coale, Jr. They met in a chance happening when Ansley picked up Hubert and his wife who were hitchhiking through California.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The spirit offers an intense caramel nose, then apple and pear fruit.

Taste

Germain-Robin brandies are unusually aromatic and flavorful, with no hint of harsh alcohol. It is interesting to compare any of them to a glass of cognac.

Finish

Modest wood, and a butterscotch finish.
