More of a whiskey/whisky specifically bourbon profile than brandy truthfully. But I get vanilla, brown sugar, maple, and oak, and on the nose but not really the palette this almost bubble gum note. Definitely most suited as a mixer and a budget one at that, but I have drank it neat and it's acceptable to my palette at least. It's also notably smoother than I expected at it's price point. Where I'm at as of the time of review, 375ml is roughly $5-6, a $750 is $11, and 1.75L handles are around $24-25.
