Australian brandy is distilled from wine, brandy is made the world over, in places as unexpected as Bulgaria and Cyprus. Most brandies are not what the aficionado would call serious. The word brandy comes from the Dutch for burnt wine brandewijin, an obvious reference to its mode of production. All that said brandy comes from a wide ranging of grapes such as Ugni Blanc, Pedro Ximenez, Palomino, Trebbiano, Sultana and Doradillo.

The brandies are characterized by delicate flavours and a very fruity presence. The distillation of the brandy can be both pot-still and continuous still. If the results are blended then the designation on the bottle will read: Australian Blended Brandy. The age of the Australian Brandy is defined as:matured, aged minimum of two old, aged minimum of five years, very old, aged minimum of ten years.
