About Driftless Glen 5Yr Reserve Brandy
Driftless Glen 5Yr Reserve Brandy is a premium Other Spirits from Driftless Glen Distillery in Baraboo, Wisconsin, boasting 46% ABV (92 proof) and available in 750ml at $30.00. Crafted from grapes sourced from France, aged five years in French oak barrels and then cask-finished in used bourbon barrels at the distillery, it gains exceptional depth, rich color, and complex character distinguishing it as a Reserve. What makes it special is the unique terroir of the Wisconsin Driftless Region—untouched by glaciers, with pure limestone-filtered water, sandy soils, and local grains fueling their grain-to-glass philosophy in a zero-waste operation. Ideal for brandy enthusiasts, sipping connoisseurs, or those seeking American craft alternatives to European cognacs, it offers smooth sophistication at an accessible price. Compared to its category, it stands out for bourbon-barrel influence adding whiskey-like warmth and value, outperforming many mass-produced brandies in nuance and heritage while undercutting premium imports.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma opens with ripe grape and subtle fruit esters from French oak aging, layered with warm caramel and vanilla from bourbon barrel finishing. Hints of toasted nuts and gentle spice evoke the Driftless terroir's purity. A whisper of charred oak adds inviting depth.
👅 Palate
Silky and full-bodied mouthfeel delivers baked apple, dried fig, and honeyed sweetness balanced by oak tannins. Bourbon cask imparts toffee and mild rye spice, creating harmony between fruit-forward brandy and whiskey nuance. Medium viscosity coats elegantly without heaviness.
✨ Finish
Lingering warmth fades with fruit linger and soft oak, clean and refined.
