finding something good to drink by accident

[Gil Bang 25899]

So, I was making French Onion soup on a cold day.   The recipe called for a couple ounces of brandy.  I didn't have any on hand, as I wasn't a brandy/cognac guy.  SInce I was cooking, I send the GF to the store for brandy. She comes back with a 750 ML bottle of Christian Bros, which was on sale for 8 bucks or so.  

I used it in the soup, and the soup turned out great.  

Then I poured a splash in a glass.  This cheap shit is really, really good.  I just bought another bottle because I finished the first one.

@Safeway now, I need some Brandy for cooking, Mincemeat pie.  And I thought: who who on the internet would give me the no BS answer quickly?

Cheap brandy really is surprisingly good for the price.

How I discovered Monkey Shoulder.  For the price, I love the stuff.  Was in a hurry, gift for a friend.  Grabbed it off the shelf and had to hit the road.  At the party, more than one remarked how well they liked it.

I like a bit of brandy now and then. It's a mellow alternative to whisky or bourbon. Floating a shot on top of a margarita isn't bad.
