Raynal is a brand of French brandy with a history that can be traced back to 1840. The brand is a part of a larger company now owned by the spirits giant William Grant & Sons. While the company is based in Cognac, Raynal is a French grape brandy and not a Cognac, a distinction that allows it to use grapes from various wine regions in France, not just the delimited Cognac area.

Raynal's most popular offering is its VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) brandy, which is known for its consistent quality and approachable price point. The brandy is aged in French oak casks, a traditional method that imparts a smooth, velvety taste with notes of almond, walnut, and a hint of spice. The brand is often celebrated for offering a well-rounded and versatile spirit that is excellent for mixing in cocktails but can also be enjoyed neat.

In some markets, particularly the United Kingdom, Raynal brandy is known by a different name: Three Barrels. This dual branding reflects a long and complex history of mergers and acquisitions within the French brandy industry. Regardless of the name, the brand's core identity remains its commitment to producing a classic French brandy that is both elegant and accessible to a wide audience.
