The fukk is yall nikkas drinking
nikkas said Cazadores Reposado and Ciroc Brandy
I'm in the bar industry... Allow me to help y'all out
^At $40 for 750ml it's only $5-7 more than a 750ml bottle of Hennessey and it's 100% made from the best grape vineyard in the Cognac region of France (Grande Champagne) while Hennessey is a blend of grapes from 4 different vineyards. Pierre Ferrand Ambre is as good as sipping cognac gets in that price range period, if you about to buy a bottle of ciroc brandy then cancel that shyt
If you really tryna drink brandy on a budget then stick with Armagnac or Spanish brandy from the Jerez region which is made fairly similarly to Cognac and actually predates it by a couple hundred years. They use a ranking system similar to the VS/VSOP/XO system, very old Spanish Brandy is much cheaper than very old Cognac but often just as good. Can't go wrong with a bottle of Lussau Gran Solera Reserva which is equivalent to XO Brandy but costs $40 for 750ml
Armagnac is column distilled instead of pot distilled which pretty much means that it retains a fuller flavor. However, decent quality Armagnac is just as smooth as any of the cognacs y'all mentioned in here but they taste a LOT better. You can get a VSOP Armagnac for $30-40, I personally recommend Duc de Loussac VSOP Bas Armagnac which costs $40 for 750ml.
