Nice, I'll have to check it out and see if my local place carries that brand. If you read the last couple of pages in this thread I just started to get into Cognacs/Brandies and so far I'm really enjoying them.
Don't set your expectations too high. Like I said, it tastes cheap, but is drinkable, which more than you can say for whiskey at that price point. I'm a little ambivalent with brandy/cognac. It's good, and I like it, but it seems a little one dimensional to me, especially compared to scotch. I've had a few good brands in the not ridiculously priced category, and they don't taste amazingly better than the cheaper stuff(Paul Masson not included). My goto is Asbach Uralt from Germany. It's cognac in every aspect but fact. I'm pretty sure it's made with French grapes, and aged in Limousine oak, same as cognac. It's pretty good, and ~$25/bottle.
I've been exploring the very bottom end of the brandy spectrum, and they aren't so bad. E&J, Paul Masson... Still have a couple more to try. E&J XO is kinda interesting. It's a vanilla bomb, and that puts me off of it a bit. I can't believe it got all that flavor just from the wood. I think they've added flavor to it, which isn't something I appreciate. It comes off as... Synthetic? Maybe not that, but less artful. Like someone had a good cognac described to them, and they hit up the chemistry set to replicate it never having tasted the real thing. It's definitely easy drinking with a good, but unsophisticated flavor. Worth trying for <$15. Really, at these price points, the bottom end stuff is worth trying, cause why not? Even if they aren't drinkable neat(haven't found that one yet), you could use them as mixers, or to cook with. Hard to lose.
