Which Brandy or Cognac is nice to give as a gift?
My uncles 70th birthday party is today and as a gift I would like to give him a nice bottle of Brandy or Cognac. As I know nothing about liquor, can someone tell me what would be a nice gift?
Answers: A decent brandy or cognac can be had for somewhere between $50 - $200. Anything less than that tends to be coarse and unless your uncle is a connosieur, over that range may not be fully appreciated. Your best bet is to go to a local liquor mart and see what they have on display and what matches your wallet.
I can tell you though that Camus, Courvoisier and Delamain VSOP's are pretty decent and run about $60. If you were to give me a gift, I would love the Spanish brandy "Duque D'Alba" also about $60, a hidden gem. Grand Marnier is an excellent orange-flavored Cognac. They make some gift sets that come with a nice bottle and a pair of snifters in a pretty box. I'd recommend you look at these. Napoleon Brandy or Louis Louis XIII Cognac and of course there are some fine Champagne Cognac as well. Accompany that with a fine cigar and brother you have one special gift. But to be perfectly honest any gift is a good gift. Grand Marnier. Yummy! Hennessy VSOP or Remy Martin Vsop, Either or would make a great gift.... Have you looked at what kind he drinks as his favorites
ask his wife.
anyway there are many gift packs in the liquor store
