Next to the Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art (ILOMOCA) is the Philippines' first Brandy Museum dedicated to showcasing the rich history and tradition in Spanish brandy making that dates back to 711 AD. Stepping inside the museum will give you a glimpse albeit in a nutshell of how brandy is distilled from wine or fermented fruit mash. The elegantly designed museum showcases vintage and antique wine making tools, interactive displays and samples of Spanish brandy from all over the globe.
If you're a brandy connoisseur, the museum is the place for you to partake of exclusively held brandy appreciation classes and even enjoy coffee brandy infused drinks and pastries like cupcakes and macarons from the Brandy Museum Cafe.
I took home a bottle of Emperador Coffee Brandy which retails at P149. I don't drink but I'm sure it will come handy for coffee inspired baked goods and yes cocktails. Now let me fetch the recipes!
