I'm a bit of a brandy fan, my favourite so far is mataxa 7 star, I got it at Crete airport for £23.00 for a litre bottle, fantastic value, in fortunately I only bought two, but Amazon are selling it, I recommend you try it

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm a fan of ,Cognac, Calvados and Armagnac. I usually find the Greek (and Spanish) brandies to be a little 'too much raisin' but I like to keep an open mind...and a full glass. :cool:

I used to buy Asbach Uralt German Brandy. Not had it for a while......but it's nearly Christmas and I think I might treat myself.

Just a personal choice and I freely admit to not liking the almost vapour French high end brandy . Miguel Torres 10 is not his high end he does a 15 and a 20 but they lose the Power for me so his Ten is my favourite and frankly very hard to beat . Waitrose sell it as does Amazon but they are getting a little expensive . Most times I buy a few bottles in any Spanish Duty free at around 14E per litre .

I've never found "too much raisin' to be a problem - I plan to be raisin plenty a glass tonight 🤣

Generally find Armagnac and Calvados to be more interesting than the run of the mill brandies, and Grappa is always good for stripping the plaque off your teeth - save a fortune in dental bills 😁

I can manage a wallop of Grappa, alright, but it's no longer as cheapo and cheerful as it ought to be.

Lately, I've fallen under the spell of the Hors d'age Pacory Calvados which is 70% pears and 30% apples.

12 star is one of my favourites, just got another bottle on my way back from Zante last week. In a different league to 5 or 7 star. There is even a 'reserve' which was another £15 or so which I've not tried yet.....
If you like Spanish Brandy, then Duque d'Alba is pretty special too.
