This is an excellent program. Well presented and very informative. You did not put irritating music in the background and thanks for that. Real classy.
Nicely done. It's refreshing to see that there is still a sense of tradition and style somewhere in society. Maybe it's making a comeback.
shut up ya boomer asshole
@@OcTVids lmao. gottem
Terrific tutorial! Thanks for posting!
I don't mean to correct you, but I've learned differently regarding the classifications of the aging.
VS - Very Special - Minimum two years of aging in an oak barrel.
VSOP - Very Special Old Pale - Minimum four years of aging in an oak barrel.
XO - Extra Old (or Napoleon) - Minimum six years of aging in an oak barrel.
Again; I do not mean to claim you wrong, but I want your experience on the topic.
The video was very informative and educational - Thank you for that!
You don't need to swirl the glass to transfer heat to the liquor. You just have to hold it. Swirling only accelerates the evaporation of the alcohol.
I like your style mate! Cheers.
Thanks for info. I start my brandy binge now .
Great Video 💡
Good presentation.
I like this guy!!
Cigar and brandy. Wonderful
Decidedly insalubrious.
Fantastic.
Don't you mean salubrious?
Cheers from the DelMarVa Eastern Shore! 🍻🍷🍷

Watching and sipping on chocolate milk. I use my Flinstones glass from McDonald’s.

I laughed my ass off when reading this.Thank you.
How well off do you have to be to pour a glass of brandy as a demonstration and then just dump it down the sink?
I hate when a bartender tries to serve me cognac in a shot glass!
Guys we had good training for free of cost don't worry about wasted its part of the training..

I can't believe you wasted that cognac.

1. Cognac is actually defined as a brandy produced in the French style of twice distillation white grape wine, distilled in the designated Cognac region from grapes which were grown from same said Gognac growing regions.
2. The Grading System is as follows:
According to the “Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac” (BNIC) and Official French Regulations of AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) Cognac:
*VS* “Very Special” *** (Three Stars) where the youngest brandy in the blend must have been matured in Limousin oak casks for at least 2 years old.
*VSOP* “Very Superior Old Pale” ***** (Five Stars) where the youngest brandy in the blend must have been matured in oak casks for at least 4 years old.
*Napoleon/Très Vieux* (From 2018). This grade must have matured for at least six years. (This used to be the definition of XO prior to 2018).
*XO* “Extra Old” which used to be known as “Napoleon”. There is a lot of confusion here due to a change in the regulations. The youngest brandy in the blend (up until 2018), had to be at least 6 years old. From 2018, the regulations for French Brandy was raised to at least 10 years of maturation in the cask.
*Hors d'âge* "beyond age" is a term used for the very top premium Cognac expressions. Officially the age has to be at least that of XO (10 Years), but in practice it can be a lot older. Having said this, there are XO brandies on the market which are 30 years or more, yet the term Hors d'âge is not used.
*XXO* From 2019. “Extra-Extra Old” where the maturation is at least 14 Years.
By the way, you may have wondered, especially considering the usual obsessive insistence of using only the French language for its products and services, the French Brandy grades are in English! This is historical as the British controlled the international Brandy trade within the 18th century and they established these now universally adopted grades.
Se
vs= at lest 2 years
vsop= at least 4
xo= 6-20 years
This guy is giving wrong info
@@mrcat3493 do you know what is the right info?
Aspen S. XO now has to have eau de vie aged at least 10 years. BNIC changed the rules a couple of years back.
@@mrcat3493
Any way to know if you are buying a bottle from before the rule change?
See my comment further up.
I poured a glass that way for a girl she was amazed lol
Did you tap that?
José Angel Esparza she thought that you knew what you were doing not just drinking drinking
how could you spill away that brandy. Invite some friends and share. Even local hobo wouldn't mind to lie down behind your bar counter.
By law regarding cognac and protected.
VS - minimum 2.5 years in wood
VSOP - minimum 4.5 years in wood
XO - minimum of 6.5 years in wood
XXO don't officially exist.
nobody will brand VSOP as VS. Than even more no body will brand XO as VSOP.
Therefore whenever buying VSOP and VS you may be sure of it's age. With XO it's difficult because all producers will claim it's so much more older...
Well sure brandy is unregulated everywhere I'm sure there are some well made ones regardless. It's also customary in france for XO to actually be like 10 years old minimum with blend ranging up to 30 years old. So their own rules are actually hurting them in france hence they change XO to 10 year to match reality. Although with vs, vsop you can bet that 60-80% of a blend going into bottle being at that minimum age.mysticresistence
This guy knows what the hell he is talking about.
Its for sniffing? He must be stoned, men
It's his job. He's a bartender. What you expect.
Except VSOP usually stands for Very *Superior* Old Pale, not 'special'.
I'd like to see a 10year old vsop or 5 year vs

On the contrary one of the 5 largest cognac houses states its Very special...
Too fancy for me. I always end up binge drinking
I drank an entire 5th of VSOP in 10 minutes and then threw up for hours!!!
In the army now. I’ll kill a bottle and be sad it’s all gone.
Good to see Michael McDonald doing some bar work
More like Kenny Rogers.
I was thinking he looked like Kevin Nash gained some weight
Oh my fucking God this killed me
Will Sasso as Kenny Rogers, "THIS IS THE DAIRY CHALLENGE!!!"
@@strokeraceventura2550 you beat me to it.
drinking brandy in a snifter while watching this :)
When ya got style...flaunt it... that's what I say... Now excuse me..after breakfast I'm driving to the Chateau Elan winery in N. Ga.
"That's living" haha fantastic
Great vid;) Love the stogy in the brandy comment;) "that's living"...Sure is;)
Ash pls tell me why u would do that lmfao
English gentleman it’s called the marriage, when you drink and smoke all that flavour is already in your mouth, so without even noticing it you are blending and flours of the two. To tip the mouth of the cigar slightly into your cognac infuses the cigar combining the two flavours so when you smoke the cigar you have also the taste of the cognac at the same time and it’s a great flavour when you know how the two works. Sometimes you would also take a puff of the cigar and put the smoke into the glass and mix the cigar smoke with the cognac dither infusing the flavour of the cognac. Now for those who don’t know much about the pairing of cigar and cognac or scotch etc wouldn’t understand what this is all about and why this is done. Me personally I do it all time and it complements each other with that marriage of the two. But not everyone does it and others prefer not to do it or they are not aware of it. A fine cigar mix with fine cognac or scotch when combined is a wonderful experience.
Thank you - perfect amount of information. I am making a shrimp scampi recipe that calls for adding brandy and white wine to the pan and igniting. Having only a bottle of VSOP Courvoisier, I wasn't sure if this was actually a "brandy". Not only did your informative video explain this for me, but now I know my scampi will be "very superior" and "special" :)
What a waste of brandy. Should of save it for later or something.
Exactly my thought! I was like :o how could he just waste that?
how do you know he wasted it?
For real. Maybe that one was for a dude behind the camera.
or maybe he lapped it up with his tongue after he turned the camera off.
Ly Nguyen There’s a fucking bucket behind the counter. Why are you assuming shit? You couldn’t wait to comment about something, could you? Just messing with you...I’m getting drunk just watching this
Thanks! It's my birthday, and my father gave me a bottle of brandy. I'm going to enjoy it tonight
Courvoisier is NOT pronounced like that!!
for god's sake,... what's wrong with people these days,... is it so hard to search and learn the right pronounciation,...with the internetnet and everything!?!?!?
Having married into a family of liquor/spirits lovers, and growing up in a dry Baptist household, I have found your video insightful and ultimately helpful. Thank you.
I love how you know your spirits. 😊💖
Love "islands in the stream" Kenny,you and Dolly nailed it.Never knew you tendered bar though!
When you speak a french name of alcohol, pronounce it French..not American! Courvoisier!!!
Did you just dump that drinkk..? 😥
Kenny Rogers let himself go, good job he "knows how to hold em" because he certainly can't pronounce them.
My inhaler looks different than this
Mine looks blue when I press it it releases gas
Mines too, if you don't believe me then, asth ma mum
Nice very, professional
Awesome presentation.
Seriously 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
I would KILL to know your professional take on using these newer brandy tulip type glasses instead....(for a Christmas present!) HELP
My local supermarket has a Cognac that is labelled XO on the bottle.
Directly below the XO, it says 'Aged 5 years'.
False advertising or what?
Hello everybody. If anybody can help. I recently lost my grandmother to lung cancer, she left the family her house. We decided to sell it. While cleaning out the house in a drawer I found a very old bottle of "Pedro Domecq Presidente Brandy" it is unopened. Is it still drinkable, if so what can I serve it with? Also is it worth anything?
"ko-và-sië"? 😂😂
My bottle says "XXX"....maybe I shouldn't be drinking that...
What about those napoleon ones
But the difference with cognac is - very little hang over next day (UNLESS you drink a gallon!!!)
Kevin Nash really put on some weight!
I imagine dipping a cigar in the Brandy will also Infuse the Brandy a bit don't think I'm trying that one though
you are right!!! that IS LIVING !! GOOD VID !! ;) CHEERS
Well bubba I love Christian brothers..I think its the best..with the vanilla and oak..on ice...
Gentlemen, the cognac (brandy in general ) should be served in warm glasses!
Damn what a ripoff! The bouquets ass you are ripping a drinker off!!!
the best cognac and brandy in the world are made in Armenia, but they sold their company to the French.
Great old school bartender. Not like those little beta boy, soy boy, bartenders wearing leather aprons.
It will not light it on fir if you dip your cigar in it, there is to much liquid and it will go out. It is the fumes that burn not the liquid itself. And yes it is the NOT light end you dip in the brandy. The side you put in your mouth.
I can't believe he poured that Brandy . And then dumped in the sink . What a waste 😫
Wrong information about VS, VSOP, Napoleon, XO and XXO
That's living.. master class of art of living. End of topic
My fav cognac is cavoursier champagne cognac. Recently finished a 30th bday pressent of remi martin xo premier cru and the cavoursier was better imo and £100 cheaper
So many “new” bartenders don’t have a clue about this.
Talk to me about KFC next.
Anyone knows where this guy works at? Would to get a drink from him
He looks like an overweight Kevin Nash
I could be wrong but I think ''V.S.O.P'' stands for ''Very Superior Old Pale'' though ''V.S'' stands for ''Very Special''.
Is the brandy made from distilled grapes or distilled wine?
coming from the other side of the table here. what happens at 2:53 terrified me
That was a Great Presentation. God bless you.
Stumbled into brandy, need to learn more....😂
Thank u for the brilliant explanation. Well done!
I know he didn’t toss that fresh glass of brandy
COOR-VWAH-ZEE-AY not CUH-VAH-SEE-AY. What are you Busta Rhymes?
This guy's male-only pronouns are annoying.
Mixing aged brandy and a stinky cigar blahhh lol
C'est la vie . Boisson , manger en joyeaux
Great to see Kevin Nash keeping busy
There are 4 official age ratings for cognac as per the Bureau National Interproffesional du Cognac (BNIC), who are the decision making body for the cognac industry…
VS = minimum of 2 years in the barrel /
VSOP = minimum of 4 years in the barrel
XO = minimum of 10 years in the barrel
XXO = minimum of 14 years in the barrel
There is also “Hors d’Age” Cognac which is aged for between 30 & 50 or even 100 + years
I very much agree good sir. Great video
If I understand correctly, the best Brandy is a Cognac?
"thats living" wondefull
Did he just throw that drink away?
