Strangely it's something I've never tried. I like a good peaty single malt. I like red wine. I can drink white but prefer red. I like Stout and good ales. I can take or leave lager.

So what's Brandy like and any recommendations apart from fucck off would be appreciated.

I rarely drink, but when I do it's brandy.  Something really expensive would be wasted on me as half the time I just have a large one in a coffee, Courvoisier mostly.

Brandy is actually distilled wine

That's the funny thing cruso. I was waiting at the till in LIDL today and saw a bottle and read about the wine bit and it piqued my interest. We had Sherry and Port when I was doing my dining nights but Brandy and cigars weren't included.

nice drink....  brandy &  dry ginger or a good brandy on its own with a good coffee.

Courvoisier Cognac VS,Remy Martin Cognac VSOP or a nice glass of Hennessy XO Cognac if your feeling flush.

three barrels brandy normally used for cooking & Flambe ... steak au poivre , xmas puddings etc

Love the stuff but I won't pay the price for it, and if it was there I would do the bottle in a weekend!

"VSOP" (Very Special Old Pale) has to be matured for minimum seven years, in oak barrels that are a minimum of seven years old.

only spirit I have ever been able to face after getting drunk on it. All I'd say is give it a chance by drinking a decent one not some supermarket brand.

And for God's sake, after it's been so caringly produced, don't rubbish it by putting anything else in it!

When I was in Ukraine, Quality Vodka at £4-5 a Litre was my Main Drink, However they do have 5*Star Quality Brandy`s, 50ml(A large shot in the UK) is the Smallest quantity you can buy in a bar, I used to drink some neat and put some in my coffee (-10* Outside in Winter),
Mixed with Ginger Ale is also Tasty,
Too much Brandy and your Heart can really get Racing!, Frightening at 5 in the morning.

I am sure, some years ago "Pernod" and some other French Companys, bought up a lot of the Quality Vineyards/Grapes in Georgia and Ukraine for Brandy/Cognac.[   This image is no longer available.   ]

How about pheck off, is that appreciated?



A tot of brandy in a mug of coffee with a spoonful of honey stirred in, is an excellent winter warmer.
