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
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.
brandy = Branntwein brandy = Weinbrand brandy = Kognak brandy = Schnapps
4 Tablespoons of brandy equal around 1 oz. of brandy extract. Brandy extract is a higher concentrated from of brandy.
Probably "Calvados", an apple brandy. Commercial Calvados is not that strong, but the calvados made in the countryside by French farmers is commonly distilled out at 140 proof. After the liberation of France in World War II, the GI's were offered Calvados by the grateful French people. GI's, thinking it no stronger than any other brandy, chugged it - and a lot of problems arose from that, as you can well imagine. The saying among the GI's was that it was made from "ground up grenades".
