This is no joke, if it's your first time tasting a brandy or Congac for that matter I'd recommend B&B (which is my everyday brandy) this is a pro brandy and if your just getting into it the powers that come out will overwhelming ruin your pallet you won't be able to appericate. THIS Is A CONNESSURES Brandy Who Likes A GLASD Once A Week Warmed JN A Special Brandy warner. The angles share wasnt even lost its that stout. Not for a beginner,if it's your first time ever trying real brandy than chances are you'll want to toss it, it took me a glass or 3 just to get all the tastes that are so powerful in this elixir. It's truly a pro brandy only. Do yourself a favor a don't jump in feet first, start with a congac, than B&B maybe and than make the light speed taste complexity jump before you make this your first tasting. The Bullman
