It is typically aged in wooden casks, which gives it a rich flavor and aroma. Brandi can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as an ingredient in various cocktails. The production of brandi involves several steps, including fermentation, distillation, and aging. Different regions produce distinct styles of brandi, such as Cognac and Armagnac from France, each with unique characteristics based on the grapes used and the production methods employed.
