This is what happens when one doesn’t know what one is doing. I was actually looking for something fruity. In my head, something like an apple brandy. Without doing much in the way of my usual, um, research, I simply learned that it was an acceptably good brandy and it was inexpensive.
Unlike a schnapps or liqueur, that is a base spirit with flavors added, brandy is apparently distilled from wine. So, booze, made from booze. Let that swirl around in your glass for a moment.
The aroma is very subtle, fruity, maybe grape-like with alcohol. I don’t think I sipped it; maybe I should. But it is 9AM, so that will have to wait. I’m sure I used it in a cocktail, although I don’t remember which. So far, it isn’t memorable.
There is French writing on the bottle, so I thought it would class up the Lair.
Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
Paid: $12 (I think) for 750ml
Buy again: Probably not
