Best Inexpensive World Brandies

Copper color. Aromas and flavors of marzipan, candied pecans, spiced and poached pear, cherry cola and raisin toast, and cedar saw dust with a crisp, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, complex, medium-long finish conveying touches of poached pear, cinnamon bun, and melted caramel. With rich orchard fruits alongside some barrel spice and balance, this would be excellent for most traditional Brandy cocktails.

Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate ganache and cigar ash, honey comb, basswood honey, brandied cherries, and orange marmalade with a round, bright, dry medium-to-full body and a delightful, medium-length finish conveying notes of caramel apple, leather, mocha, and grilled chocolate covered pineapple. Wood spices and a tad zippy, this makes a great sipper next to a fireplace or even with a light wrap cigar.

Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla creme candies and caramel bullseyes, butterscotch, orange peel and baking spices, and green apple with a round, soft, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, medium-length finish displaying nuances of butterscotch, creamed bing cherries, cashew toffee, and honey roasted peanut. An aged Brandy with notes of creamy nougat and butterscotch with hints of toasted nut and burnt vanilla.

Golden amber color. Fruity, confected aromas and flavors of rum raisin ice cream, green apple in caramel, cinnamon pastry, spumoni, and circus peanuts with a satiny, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and a smooth, brisk finish. A fruity brandy for easy mixing.
