Working to a budget of £50-60 but will spend a bit more if need for something nice.

What I know about brandy is limited to the fact that you can spend huge sums on a bottle, and the other thing I know is that I hate the stuff.

So can anyone point me in the right direction please, it's for a birthday gift for my brother.


Thanks.

Any XO is a good bet

or the Remy Martin as said above

I have Regnauld Sabourin, get it from Gauntley of Nottingham...

It's better than a Hennessy XO which is a lot more

Hine would be my recommendation Remy and Hennessey a bit obvious.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll have a look later and get something ordered.

try Armagnac instead.

For that amount you can probably get a bottle from the year he was born, so shows a bit more thought.

Personally I find it smoother than Cognac pound for pound as well.

Good call that, I hadn't thought of the year. Had a quick search and there is quite a few from "71" Seem to be about the £100 mark, so not that bad.

to both of those, personally the Remy Martin would be my choice.

It depends if you want a name or not.
If that is the case, go for a Hennesey, Remy, etc. As they are waaaay overpriced.

If you want a better drink, then go for the Regnauld Sabourin; it is far superior.
