What does BRANDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A strong alcoholic spirit distilled from wine or from fermented fruit juice.
Brandy is usually aged in oak barrels, which gives it a golden-brown colour and a smooth, warming taste. The most famous kinds, cognac and armagnac, come from particular regions of France, while other countries make brandy from apples, plums or cherries. The English word is a shortening of the old Dutch brandewijn, meaning burnt wine, a reference to the heating used in distilling.
