Thanks for posting, going to need to drive up to Ironroot and talk to them about brandy. Maybe bring some other Darroze vintages for him to try ;) Darroze still has brandy aging in casks from WWII.

When I worked as an archaeologist at a museum here in Sweden we salvaged apple brandy from a ship that sank 1776, it still smelled amazing but tasted a bit meh. Not surprising being on the ocean floor for almost 250 years.. 😁

The Vieux Carré has been my gateway into realizing that, as brandy works just as well as whiskey in mixed drinks, it’s also a fine drink to enjoy neat.

@hqcu180 Год назад

As French, who nearly live btw Calvados and Charente, I'm proud of this review! Cognac isn't very consumed here because we prefer Pastis (South aperitif) or scotch (1st consumer in Europe). Armagnac claims to be the first ever spirit distilled in the world.. But you know. For the Calvados, there are 2 style with the Calvados (or Lambig if it's distilled in Britanny) and Calvados Domfrontais if there is both apple and pear distilled. Last week I bought a 1996 Armagnac for less 80€ (heaven).

@firefox3187 Год назад

Yes, Armagnac to me is much nicer than Cognac, as it’s more fruity and less alcohol burn/byte. Also though can be harder to get. Armagnac £ per year is no where near as high then Cognac as it’s not as commercialised.

@archloy Год назад

@@firefox3187 Age, year and producer will change a lot an Armagnac (you can have a highly fruity note in mouth in one hand and just alcohol burning other flavors in the other hand...) but I agree, Cognac is way more expensive, as it's seen as "aristocratic" while Armagnac was more a "popular" brandy.

@archloy Год назад

if you do not known : for aperitif, try "floc de gascogne", 1/3 armagnac, 2/3 of grape juice. Sweet and fruity :) (but you can have difficulty to find one, even in Bordeaux it's not as common as you may expect...)

@mamuka1977 Год назад

I was unexpectedly surprised. Thank you guys! I love armagnac , cognac and brandy in general. I think armagnac is an incredible value for the money and I'm getting my cognacs from France directly because it is a lot more variety, a lot more depth from what you get here. Being born in the Republic of Georgia, Brandy was the first hard liquor everybody drank. I'm looking forward to trying Texas brandy. Would definitely need more videos like this. One thing everybody needs to keep in mind they legally can add a little bit of sugar coloring and boise (2-4%), I always try to get once that have no additives in the United States for a reasonable price actually. Just today I got delivery from store pick in US off armagnac and it's barrel proof (50+% of alcohol). You guys keep these videos so much fun and entertaining thank you.

@hulkslayer626 Год назад

Lairds is 15 minaway from me and I never knew it's history until I did a call there (I work for AAA). That's when I found out that they were issued patent #1 and the first Distillery in the United States. It was a recipe passed down through the family and the only person to know the recipe outside of the Laird family was George Washington. Because Laird would make it for the troops he was serving with in the Revolutionary War. Word got around and Washington found out and loved it and asked for the recipe... and he was Washington, so yeah lol Also, to this day, it is family run. Everyone in charge is a Laird family member. It's amazing what can be right under your nose.

@mollieh1312 Год назад

I'd love to see y'all taste some of the nicer Laird's offerings. Their BiB is a wonderful cocktail ingredient and very reasonably priced, and the 7 1/2yr is a very tasty sipper and makes excellent cocktails as well. Next time I see it around I'll definitely pick up the single cask, bottled at a very respectable 130 proof!

Hey Whiskey Tribe 👋 I recently watched a video on wine gadgets, but it gave me an idea. They showed a gadget that pumps the air out of a bottle of wine to extend its life once opened. Maybe you could do a video testing that same gadget on a nearly empty bottle of whiskey.

I was fortunate enough to snag the new Apple Brandy from Andalusia before I left. Unfortunately... I had to fly out of Austin the same day you did the Ironroot tasting at Crowded Barrel! 🖖😎🥃

@GogiRegion 6 месяцев назад

Laird’s is like if you got a cream soda then infused it with green apple. The straight apple brandy version is also way better in every way. It’s maybe twice as expensive, but is probably 4x as good.

I recently discovered a Brazilian Brandy that really impressed me. The style is called Piscos, named after the ceramic jars it's traditionally aged in. I think some of the methods could inform some interesting new whiskey styles. The main thing which makes Piscos different from other brandies, is that it is aged specifically in containers that will not add new flavors-- no wood barrels. Usually it's glass, steel, or ceramics. They also go very quickly from fermenter to still, with one sub-style requiring that the must isn't completely fermented, to begin with. They distill exclusively via single pot still. The end result is crystal clear, but by far, the fruitiest tasting spirit I've ever encountered. I'd really like to see what these methods can do to whiskey.

@jonwesick2844 Год назад

I visited a pisco distillery in La Serena, Chile back in 2008. As I approached, I could smell the grapes in the air.

@orlyaguilar152 Год назад

Pisco is Peruvian and Northern Chile region sort of brandy. Brazil makes cachaza from sugar cane.

@rodneyferguson446 Год назад

My Dad was in the Navy for 20 years and during the Viet Nam War, he was Stationed with the SeaGee's on Guam in 1969. When he came back, he told us about being taught there about how to make "Brandy". We had a bunch of Peach trees/pear trees/and Muscadine grape vines around the place. So he got a bunch of these fruits and distilled them. Now I was about 13 years old at the time and NOT an expert at all in alcohol but his so-called "Brandy" was perfectly clear and since he didn't age it, in my mind this is what would have been called "Moonshine" except it was made from fruit and not grain, LOL!

Should probably ne noted that the VS-VSOP-XO age statement system isn't strictly an age statement, but a type indication that also has an age requirement. One brand's VS might be a minimum of two years and another's might be four years, even though at that age it could be labeled a VSOP. The reason why brands don't just put the highest aged label on the bottle is because there's other expectations attached to the label.
