I disagree. Any brandy worth drinking is worth drinking straight. If I don’t want to drink it straight, I don’t want to drink it period. Blended scotches seem much less of a waste when mixed with eggnog.
I use peach brandy, which is not expensive, and a great mixer with eggnog, OJ and I also sprinkle it on my Victoria pudding...an English concoction of diced mango, banana, and custard. On a hot day on the golf course, nothing tastes better than OJ & peach brandy on ice.
