Kristone Golden Muscat Reserve

Kristone Muscat Brandy is our answer to tequila reposado. It is rested for only a few months in American Oak to achieve a light color and soft mouth feel. Using the same methods as in cognac, Kristone Muscat Brandy is made from 100% Muscat California grapes and distilled four times for elegance and clarity while still preserving the character of the grapes. This style of brandy is well-known throughout the Mediterranean and can be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail.
