In the kit you’ll find two enamel custom mugs, a custom nylon travel bag, a Porlex burr hand grinder, a bag of Holler Mountain Blend, a brew guide, instructions and an Aeropress brewer, filters and accessories, you’ll be all set.

If you’re new to the French spirit, you might just assume that every bottle of this type of brandy is overly expensive. But there are countless reasonably priced beginner bottles as well as higher-end expressions well suited for drinkers with more refined palates.
