Description:
From the apple orchards of the Rio Grande valley, Don Quixote Qalvados is a
supple brandy barrel aged in French oak. Several apple varieties are fermented
into a sweet cider, which is then distilled in a cognac style copper pot still.
In the tradition of George Washington, our nation’s first premier distiller whose
Apple Brandy was renowned throughout the thirteen colonies, Don Quixote
Qalvados is a special treat for those who demand quality craftsmanship and who
desire something beyond the routine.

Varietal Definition
Brandy :
Brandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn — “burnt wine”) is a spirit produced by distilling wine, the wine having first been produced by fermenting grapes. Brandy contains 36%–60% alcohol by volume and is normally consumed as an after-dinner drink. While some brandies are aged in wooden casks, most are coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of such aging. Brandy can also be made from fermented fruit (i.e., other than grapes) and from pomace.
