WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero net carbs: distillation removes fermentable sugars from the base wine
  • Fruit origin clarified: despite fruit base, the final spirit contains no carbs
  • Barrel aging adds aroma/complexity without adding carbohydrates
  • Sipping-friendly: quality brandy satisfies in small portions
  • Unsweetened by default: pure spirits have no added sugar
  • Digestif use: small after-dinner pours can fit keto when calories are tracked

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Trace congeners from oak aging contribute flavor complexity (not a health strategy)
  • Minimal polyphenol-related compounds from barrel interaction (trace levels)
  • Mindful, moderate use may align with social well-being for some adults
  • Typically gluten-free and free of common allergens when unflavored
  • Zero sugar avoids glycemic spikes seen with sweet liqueurs
  • May support relaxation—prioritize hydration and sleep quality

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

BRANDY NEAT

Enjoy 1.5–2 oz in a snifter at room temperature. Swirl to release aromas and sip slowly.

BRANDY ON ROCKS

Pour 1.5–2 oz over ice; dilution can open aromas while keeping the drink cold.

BRANDY AND SODA

Mix 1.5 oz brandy with club-soda and ice; add a squeeze of lemon for brightness without carbs.

AFTER-DINNER SIP

Serve a 1 oz pour post-meal as a classic digestif; pair with mineral-water to stay hydrated.
