It's over 100 years old and just a bit over $3,200.
Popular brands of brandy decanters include Waterford, Ravenscroft Crystal, and Baccarat. When choosing a brandy decanter, look for features such as a wide base for stability, a narrow neck to prevent evaporation, and a tight-fitting stopper to preserve the flavor of the brandy. Additionally, consider the material of the decanter, such as crystal or glass, and the design aesthetic that best suits your preferences.
Port or brandy.
To decant brandy, start by selecting a clean, dry decanter. Carefully pour the brandy from its original bottle into the decanter, angling the bottle to minimize sediment disturbance at the bottom. Allow the brandy to breathe for a short period, which can enhance its aromas and flavors. Finally, serve the decanted brandy in appropriate glasses, enjoying its refined character.
The Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was known for his sober habits in eating and drinking, but he did drink brandy (cognac) on occasion. His favorite brand was Courvoisier, which today still advertises itself as 'the brandy of Napoleon'.
I believe you're looking for a DECANTER.
Courvoisier is the brand name of a French cognac. Cognac is a type of brandy, in this case a distillate of particular French white wines. http://www.courvoisier.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courvoisier
Decanters are typically used to store and serve high-quality spirits such as whiskey, brandy, or cognac.
Hi there, it is called a 'decanter'. The one Lex uses is a crystal glass decanter and is rather fancy =)
Do you have one and what does it look like? Does it have a history of where it came from? Thank You! LF uplandmod@hotmail.com Leonardo
Depending on temperature, location, and if it's been opened, brandy can keep anywhere from 5 years to a lifetime if unopened.
I am wondering this same thing. Just purcahsed an unopened (and presumably still well-sealed) bottle for $1.50 (half off from $3.00) at an estate sale in a bottle that from the looks of it may be from the 1970s. Will let you know how it turns out if I end up drinking it.
