Grand Brulot is a new take on the French tradition of spiking coffee with brandy as a digestif. The brandy is a V.S.O.P. Cognac from a fifth-generation estate owned by the Tardy family in the Cognac region of France. The coffee is a robusta from Ecuador, selected for its richness. The two are blended together and aged six years in oak to produce a drink that’s warming, with a hint of spice. It’s easy to savor alone or in a cocktail. The name is a play on an elaborate flamed alcoholic French coffee drink that’s popular in New Orleans.
