Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the host who keeps a well-used bar cart, or the friend who likes a nightcap without ceremony. Made from grapes in California and produced by Heaven Hill Brands, Christian Brothers VS (Very Special) leans warm and approachable rather than austere. The nose opens on ripe apple and pear with soft touches of vanilla and oak, and the palate is velvety, carrying caramelized sugar, dried fruit and a gentle spice before a soft finish of oak and sweet fruit. That easygoing balance is what makes it a considered gift. The recipient can pour it neat or over ice on a quiet evening, stir it into a Brandy Old Fashioned for guests, mix a Brandy Sour, or add a splash to after-dinner coffee. It is just as at home in the kitchen, lifting a pan sauce or a brandy-infused cake. Pair it with a chocolate dessert or a fruit tart and you have a housewarming, holiday or thank-you gift that gets opened and actually enjoyed.
