Argonaut

Buy into the story of Argonaut's brandy. They're one of the few brandy makers that own and manage the production process from start to finish!

About Argonaut

“Brandy Queen”, master distiller, blender and second-generation winemaker, Rita Hansen, is to be credited for Argonaut's signature process – and that process is quite reminiscent of how whiskey is made. They distil in their Prulho alembic pot stills and their Vendome column Coffey still, after which final blends are created from over 100 aged brandy stocks – those ranging from two years to over two decades for the perfect balance of flavor and mouthfeel. 

Through our grape selection, hand distillation, barrel-aging, and skillful blending, Argonaut was able to create not just one brandy, but many brandy expressions!

Argonaut Saloon Strength California Brandy

Argonaut Saloon Strength is a bold, high-proof (91-proof) blend developed alongside bartenders to ensure its bright red apple, almond, and warm baking spice notes punch cleanly through complex cocktails.
