Charlie Berens Wisconsin Old Fashioned Brandy by Dancing Goat

Last year, we got a heads up from our friends at Dancing Goat Distillery that they'd been working with Wisconsin icon/comedian Charlie Berens on a Wisconsin Brandy that was finally ready for release.  

We received the first drop of Berens Brandy anywhere, and it's been a best seller for us ever since. And it's no wonder. Dancing Goat makes exceptional spirits, and has been a tremendous partner for Waterford, producing several epic  private barrel picks for us. 

Chances are if you're here, you're familiar with Charlie, but read on if you want a little more info on what makes this Brandy so special, and while you're here, we hope you'll sign up to receive updates about our exclusive deals and in-store seminars and festivals. 

Charlie is a funny guy, but he takes his work (and his drinking) seriously. His "Manitowoc Minute" videos have promoted Wisconsin culture across the world with good natured, midwestern humor. He's toured the country, and even ended up on the New York Times bestseller list. But back to the drinking. 

Charlie worked with the team at Dancing Goat Distillery in Cambridge, home to the best stockpile of aged spirits in the state, to select the perfect brandy. He settled on barrels of 4-5 year old juice, which were artfully blended by Nick Maas of Dancing Goat and bottled at 90 proof. 

To put it in cognac terms - that's VSOP-level aging, and you can taste it. This is sipping quality brandy, balanced and bright, at an old-fashioned friendly price. And oh my, how friendly it is in a classic Wisconsin Old Fashioned. 

Charlie would want us to tell you that Berens Old Fashioned Brandy is named after his Grandpa Bob. It would be egotistical for him to name it after himself, but he can't help that they have the same name. 

And tell your folks we says hi.
