Richot 250ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)You want something warm and easy after a long one? This is it. Richot is Italian grape brandy that's sat in oak for five years, so it comes out smooth and mellow with that toffee-and-vanilla glow. Sip it neat while the nyama choma's still on the grill, or splash it over ice with cola when you just want to unwind. The 250ml slips into a bag or a glovebox, which makes it the perfect grab when the night's already rolling. Say the word and we'll have it at your door, any hour.
First whiff is sweet and inviting: caramel, vanilla, a little dried fruit like raisin and fig. Take a sip and it's soft and rounded, no harsh burn, with that oak warmth folding into gentle spice (think a whisper of cinnamon and nutmeg from all those years in the barrel). The finish is long and clean, leaving a trail of fruit and wood that makes you reach for the next sip. Easygoing, never sharp.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Richot is born in Italy at the Bonollo distillery, a family name that's been distilling since 1918 along the spine of the Apennine mountains. They take selected grapes, distil the spirit a few times for that light, mellow character, then rest it in oak casks for at least five years before bottling at 40%. Bonollo are serious obsessives about wood ageing, holding their stock in barrel longer than the law asks. That patience is exactly why Richot drinks so smooth for the price.
