So tonight I tried something way different than I normally drink, brandy. My local liquor store had it on sale for less than half the price, so I just had to try it. First off, I've never had any kind of brandy before, and second off I am not a whiskey drinker at all. I read up on how to enjoy brandy, which is just by itself at room temperature in a brandy snifter. I don't have a brandy snifter, so I grabbed the closest glass I had available. I only poured about a shot, and I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it. It was apple based, but very closely resmebled Bourbon in flavor. I chilled it in the freezer to take the edge off and was able to pick out the finer notes of its flavor, not bad, but not what I look for in a drink. My friend who loves whiskey said it was very good stuff, and I was able to enjoy the rest of my glass (I usually can't finish a glass of whiskey), so.I.will agree with him. It will probably be a while before I come around to drinking more of it, but at least I know what brandy is like now.
If nothing else, the bottle is pretty cool. Definitely going to save it for containing infusions when I'm done with it.
