Top Shelf Napoleon Brandy

Top Shelf Napoleon Brandy creates a rich brandy-style spirit with ripe fruit, smooth oak and sweet vanilla character. It works well for sipping, mixed drinks and brandy-flavoured desserts.

How to mix

Shake well, add the essence to the quantity of 40% ABV neutral spirit specified on the current bottle and mix thoroughly. Rest the finished spirit before serving so the flavour can integrate.

This is a concentrated flavouring rather than a complete fermentation or distillation kit. Prepared neutral spirit is required.

If you are preparing the neutral spirit yourself, see our complete guide to making spirits at home for an overview of fermentation, distillation and finishing.
