Paul Masson VS Grande Amber Brandy

It won’t stack against Hennessy, Remy, etc. but it’s pretty decent for $10. This brandy won’t win any awards. It’s a decent after dinner drink which won’t offend anyone.

Prunes and dates, lots of alcohol fumes. Brown sugar. Sweet grape on the back end. Heavy cinnamon and fusel alcohol nose. Cinnamon really pops with a splash of water. I find this pleasant but I can tell it's not "good," per se.

This is a fine baseline and my bottom shelf of choice. Mild, sweet, and a decent mixer for things like sidecars.
