As far back as the 12th century the Dutch were already importing wines from France. Once a load of this wine was acided and the Dutch distilled it in an attempt to “restore” the wine. They created a new distillate and asked the French to send distilled wine in barrels from then onwards. The name for this new distillate was called “Brandewijn” (literally “burnt wine”). Later in the 17th century, during the French-German war, the trade between France and Holland was reduced dramatically and stocks were piling up in France. Due to the long period of the “burnt wine” in the oak barrels again the distillate changed. This unforeseen maturation created the Brandy as we know it today.
