What is Brandy? A Complete BEGINNERS Guide | Steve the Barman

What is Brandy? and How to Drink Brandy? This video is the Complete BEGINNERS Guide to Brandy, how to serve Brandy, the Brandy Classifications and Brandy Age Statements, What is the difference between Brandy and Cognac. And the big brands of Brandy and Cognac to look out for. I LOVE my Brandy. I'm aware this video is a long one, but I really wanted to cover all the Brandy Basics in one video. So please use the Chapters to scrub through sections you're not overly interested in. My videos should help you to make easy cocktails at home. The Easy Cocktail Recipes I use are as simple as I can make them for your Home Bars. I use simple Mixology skills to show you how to drink your favourite Spirits and maybe help you create your own Cocktail Recipe.

I'm Steve the Barman, the older Chubbier, UK version. I help you Drink, Enjoy and Serve Better Drinks, by hopefully providing you with Cocktail and Drinks Inspiration around your favourite brands. Originally from Cornwall, now but now living in Cambridge. I’ve had 25+ years Bartending Experience, but Classic Mixology is not really what lights my eyes up. Creating Fun Awesome Drinks is. I’ve had my own Business since 2012, rocking out Cocktail Making Masterclasses for Hen Parties, Birthdays and Corporate Events. ___________________________________________________________________ CHAPTERS 00:00 - Introduction 04:52 - What is Brandy 06:33 - Brandy Classifications 09:42 - What is Cognac 10:40 - What is Armagnac 11:34 - What is French Brandy 12:26 - What is Spanish Brandy 13:39 - What is Grappa 15:20 - What is Pisco 16:25 - US Brandy 17:55 - What is Eau de Vie 20:00 - Brandy Age Classifications 24:15 - Famous Brandy & Cognac Brands 26:30 - SEVEN TAILS BRANDY
