A good brandy is NOT to be mixed and costs about 40$ a bottle. Some of
my favorites are IMOYA VSOP, Cerbois VSOP, and Armangac de Montel. You
need to get a brandy sniffer to fully enjoy the spirit though and for a
newbie I recommend finding a friend who has the supplies before making
the envestment. I pitty the fool that drinks Christian Brothers and
E&J, they are nasty. For a first bottle try IMOYA found at any good
licquor store.
