I never knew this I looked it up:
VS stands for “Very Special”: only eaux-de-vie (spirits) at least two years old can be used to make a VS cognac.
VSOP stands for “Very Superior Old Pale”: VSOP cognacs are created from spirits aged for at least four years.
XO stands for “Extra Old”: XO cognacs are made only from spirits at least six years old.
Was going to add this tidbit in. But good researching fellow Try lover.
Why do they use the English words for it? I thought the French are against soiling their language with English vocabulary
The Napoleon is also a classification (though unofficial) with a minimum of 6 years aging. Often the V.S.O.P's will fall into this class if they carry a 6 year age.
Exactly what I was going to comment.
Thank you so much for this comment. I always wondered what those extra letters meant, but I never took the time to look them up.
Everyone was lovely as usual but Shannon had me dying with this one. 🤣
And Dónal calling out Martin. 👩🍳👌
I would love to see Shannon and Lolsy side by side for an episode along the lines of “moonshine from around the world”. Those two would be hilarious.
you gotta know the right people to get real moonshine
"Shaniqua." LOL, as an African American from the hood, that was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
I live in Detroit, and that was the funniest quote of this episode for me. Wasn’t expecting that as the answer to the question, “What would your French name be?” Hilarious indeed, Terence! 😂😂😂
I can’t imagine Shannons face if she got it explained to her lol
Came outta left field!
You know it's bad when Martin not only ditches the 10/10 scale, drops it to a 5 scale, and only gives it a 3. Oof
that makes it a 6/10
idea: Take one of the drink episodes and bring it back. This time, reverse the order of the drinks and serve blind.
Then, compare the original ranks to the new ranks.
Considering the tasting crew will read this and expect it, just mix up the order of the drinks.
They should give Martin the horn every alcohol shoot he's in :)
& a red nose floppy shoes & a mintrike
Headphone user here disagrees
I wouldn't have guessed that Martin is the reincarnation of Harpo Marx.
Well done all, and edited like butter especially 6:37- 41
Yes.
The only difference between Armagnac and Cognac is the type of still used. The former is distilled in pot stills, which carries over the mash flavor more so, I believe, and the latter comes from a column still, which produces high proof, but less tasty alcohol, in my opinion, from the condenser. The latter, I think, depends more upon the aging barrels to give it the flavor.
Thanks for the clarification. In my experience, my pallette prefers a younger Armangac. The complexities of an X.O. are lost on me. All I taste is ultra-concentrated alcohol.
I like both equally. But one thing with Armagnac is when you just open the bottle it tastes bad but if you let it sit for 30 mins after then drink it, it’s way better
Martin... my hero ❤️
when
You got your "latter" and "former" mixed up...
"Armagnac is column-distilled, which is a process where the alcohol is continuously heated between two vertical columns and then aged in French oak barrels or casks for a minimum of 1 year."
Also, Armagnac is only distilled once, where Cognac is twice distilled.
we finally found an alcohol that Martin will not give a 10/10 to.
Or he realized that bit was getting stale.
Shocking
Well….since its not Whiskey….
I know, right? Martin didn't enjoy it so he had to invent a new ratings system to compensate.
This is unprecedented
I LOVE how exuberant Shannon is. I bet her iPhone NEVER needs charging.
What makes you think,she has an iphone???----Not that common in Ireland!
Maybe Shannon has sense and bought an Android phone.
@@pebo8306 The most popular phone in Ireland is Samsung, followed by Apple but Huawei is the fastest growing
@@Soxruleyanksdrool The most popular phone in Ireland is Samsung, followed by Apple but Huawei is the fastest growing
@@GRDaniell4507 Yeah!I thought so!To me Shannon is not an iphone type,but naturally I could be mistaken!Also,with Huawei,being blocked,you might be mistaken!
i just love that Lolsy knows Gossip Girl too 😭😭
Trip down memory lane reference, loved it. 👌
It's always fun watching the faces Lolsy makes!💖💖💖
"It's the swallow that ruins it."
I know you're making a joke about non-migratory birds.
Most swallows migrate. Some make a return trip immediately
It’s only African swallows that are non-migratory :)
Are those African non-migratory birds or European non-migratory birds?
@@Lunch_Meat What? I don't know that.
Aarrrgggghhhhh!!
I have a 75 year old bottle that I am considering leaving closed for another 75 after having drunk the first one.
It's fu king strong.
A 75 yr old bottle would be very different from a bottle that was aged for 75 years before bottling. In other words, leaving it sit for another 75 years wont do anything to improve its taste.
@@dragonlvr069 Agreed. If not stored properly or if there is cork decay, the spirit inside could taste horrible at this point.
I learned something new today...I had never heard of armagnac before.
Yeah!How have we lived before RUclips???
Same!!
Thank you for drinking for our entertainment once again! I love y’all.
I like Armagnac. Like absinthe, you need to get the good stuff...and it's best to approach it with a clean palate, though for different reasons. A good Armagnac has layers of flavor and a good Absinthe does NOT have the unnatural neon green of a lava lamp. It's pretty simple to separate treasure from trash with each, which makes buying a good one fairly straightforward.
Same applies with Tequila. Or whisky.
@@AndyViant Very true.
Delord is not trash.
Watching these videos before work always make my day cheers to you beautiful people of the try channel i love the videos
Napoleon was average height. due to the difference in the French and British unit of measure the french had him at 5'6" and thew British had him at 5'2"
In addition France is actually one of the most successful military nations on the planet.
Also also Napoléon was 5'2" but that was a different standard of foot and inch; he was about 5'7" by modern standards.
The majority of history books omit the fact that his personal guard was made up of men who were extremely tall, giving rise to the mistaken impression that he was short.
@@aqacefan 5’7” is short though
@@2rare2die100 It is today, but he was well above average for a European that grew up in the late 18th century. Diets and nutrition have changed enough that people simply grow larger today than they used to.
Ed: that's one of the reasons American colonists under British rule literally grew taller than their European parents: food was easier to acquire and food consumption tended to a more nourishing diet than your average European peasant, which Napoleon was. Hence dudes like George Washington at the same height as me today wandering around 6'2" were essentially considered "giants," about a half a foot taller than even the average American who was another two inches taller than the average Englishman of the time.
@@NoPrefect The average height in France in his day was said to have been between 5’2” and 5’6”. Napoleon was said to me around 1.68m, which is around 5’6”. That would put him at average height, and definitely not well above it. You are right though, he wasn’t short for that time period, as most French people were short lol
@@2rare2die100 The French have one of the highest standard population height in the world
Wait what? Sean was born in 1992? I thought he was born in the mid 80's like myself.....lmao!
Yeah, same. I feel very old right now.
Same😅
I guess this comment thread is for us old farts.
I think this might be the first time I've not heard Martin automatically rate it a 10
MARTIN’S HORN 😹
You can ferment any fruit to make wine, and then distill it to make spirit…
…surely somewhere in Asia there’s durian-based alcohol?
I wouldn't doubt it, but could you imagine the smell at the plant it's made at?
The Whiskey Tribe youtube channel tried it....
It went how you'd expect it too
@@spynner1223 we need to see Justine try it :)
@@bob_the_bomb4508 ... Did she kill your family?
@@chenjohnson2787 it’s just the craic… :)
The alcohol episodes are definitely the best. Put leather guy and Ciara together again. Just do more.
@@izabellarose8031 Sounds like some unpleasantries maybe. So it goes.
As an Armagnac nerd and a big fan of the channel it's great to see this. If you ever do another it would be cool to see more brands. Delord is fine but it's sort of like the Jim Beam or Johnnie Walker of Armagnac. Darroze, Dartigalongue, and L'encantada are generally better quality, more interesting brands that shouldn't be too difficult to find. Single vintage releases from Darroze in particular tend to be exceptional. As others have said it's typically a more rustic, whiskey like spirit compared to the smoother stuff from the Cognac region. Comparisons to american rye whiskey are often apt
Christ! My stomach is wrecked from watching the girls faces with the first bottle. I'm dying but I can't stop rewinding and watching over and over.
I require all prior Try Channel alcohol challenges to be re-rated by Martin's horn.
Lolsy and Shannon bring such happiness and energy to these videos! Much appreciation to them!
"...and the party approached the cave, weapons at the ready, for they knew the ancient fearsome Armagnac could attack at any moment." lol. This stuff is new to me.
Great to see Lolsy looking so well since her time in NZ. First time I've seen someone out-weird Donal😂
Pure enjoyment to come! Shannon and Lolsy on the thumbnail is absolutely perfect! Fantastic job!
Agreed!!
Definitely!
its been said before but love that Lolsy is back with her faces. and love watching these but this one had me laughing and trying to not be too loud cuz my poor husband works graves and had a late start to his sleep today. they are all goid but this one for some reason really had me laughing
and should have just gone for the joke uou know Justine would've have been right on top of that if she had been partnered with you 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
Martin’s impression was spot on!! Martin is so fancy ❤️❤️
I always look forward to Monday evening - pouring myself some whisky and watching the traditional TRY alcohol video.
Happy Monday
The best part of videos with Lolsy are her facial expressions😂
I have a funny feeling that Shannon didn't like those drinks.🤭🥃
"The many French victories"?!😱(I'd love to hear Leather Jacket Guy comment!)
I would like to see a video of Tryers sampling a selection of videos about the production of videos.
Armagnac is Cognac's raw Gascon cousin. I REALLY enjoy the sharp flavour and am entertained by everything about it. This stuff is not meant for shooters, It is meant to sip and savour. Also, how about a little variety?? Those labels all looked the same. . . .so were they all the same brand?? I have 3 different brands of Armagnac on my shelf presently, and I'm sure there are more.
Have you folks tried Calvados?? That is another French spirit with an apple-ish flavour and nose. You might like it better than the Armagnac.
Calvados brandy was a favorite of an old professor of mine. He was from Hungary. I always wanted to try it.
@@elizabethw.6154 You can get bottles for 40$ US and it's not hard to get ordered anymore either. There are some varieties of calvados that add in pear along with apple when fermenting too.
I don't remember if I've had Calvados but I have had the Balkan version, jabukovača and it is wonderful. The folks in the Balkans, especially Serbians, know their fruit brandies with slivovica being the most famous (plum brandy) especially if it is domača (homemade.) If someone out there in the world wide webs has access to them they should send the tryers some Balkan rakia.
Armagnac is by far my brandy of choice. It has character, body, soul…and it’s robust enough to work well when cooking with it or mixing. It makes spectacular brandy butter and a very good brandy tonic.
Calvados and Pommeau are really marvelous too. I confess though, my favorite way to use Calvados is mixed with a very good ginger beer - it’s like an elevated apple-y Moscow Mule, better in almost every way. Try it out!
My family came from that region of France. We had to get gone during the revolution. So thanks for the review.
I love Armagnac. Been drinking it since I turned 21. It's a cousin of cognac and mean't to be sipped not chugged down like beer. My favorite is a Napoleon I bought many years ago. vsop is not good because its not aged long enough hence the harshness. Look for older ones especially anything XO or above.
Donal does not get enough love on this channel. Easily my favorite “reactor” if you will. 😂
Martin killing my cat's ears with that horn ... No 10 out of 10 for your horn 🤣
Turns out Shannon has a remarkable singing voice too! 😊
Donal - “To the French and their many victories in war.”
After the shot: “I forgot they lost everything!”
Hilarious!
Also, ignoring this guy Napoleon who won and won and won. Until he lost.
Shannon and Donal together. Just a good classic Try pairing. 👍👍
How about non-Irish cream liqueurs? (bourbon cream, I think I've seen whisky cream, and Disaronno makes an Amaretto Cream now)
No Dermot and Claisare this go around. My favorite pair for sure. That and Lolsy paired with anyone!! lol Oh and I got a TRY shirt. I love it! Dont ever want to take it off!
4:40 And. . . Shannon's hammered. Rock on, girl!
Need to see them try Ole Smoky Moonshine
Yes! All the baked good flavors like the cobbler flavors and apple pie flavor! 😋
😂
I think they did back in the day on the old Channel That Shall Not Be Named, but they need a reboot
1:26 just an excellent setup and delivery on that joke dónal me boy
Still haven't gotten a bottle of that yet to try. This should be interesting. Lol
Yeahhhh 🔥🤘 👌 appreciate y'all!! I get excited every time they try liquor or any alcohol 🤣
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Because you do so many alcohol/liquor taste tests, I suggest you invest in proper glassware. It would enhance the experience for the tryers.
Good made feel super old to the guy born in 1992. I finished highschool 😂
"She turned into a Yamaha keyboard!"
WOOOOOOOOOW DONAL!
That was so accurate 🤣
Can you guys do one with flavored Brandy..as a kid in New York my first alcohol drink was Mr Boston Black Berry Brandy..good times growing up.
Or cocktails with
Lolsy needs to be in every drinking video 😂
You gotta love Martin.. 'honkhonk' 🤣🤣 that came out of nowhere
Every now and then the world hands me a surprising reminder of how old I am...1992, Sean? You were born after I graduated from high school. Still love watching you all even if I'm too old to hang out with you. ❤️
You guys should do a barrel proof bourbons video!
You know, sometimes I watch these videos just to get recommendations. It's why I picked up a bottle of Patty's, and I was genuinely happy with it. Not sure I want to pick up a bottle of Armagnac.

incrédible !
After twenty years of being kinda sober, I started drinking again after watching you lot. So yeah, thanks.
What is "kinda sober?"
@@ronjones-6977 Drinking on and off without really getting drunk. One and away. Now I'm at six bottles of whisky a week. And I don't regret it. My wallet does, however.
Funny, I drink for my entertainment too; we should go drinking and I'll have a whale of a time! 😂
I want to see Dermot try these, if only to see his expression and hear his reaction.
It was a tough competition as always. Miss Shannon Keenan may have won but Lolsy Byrne was a hard fought second. Martin made an impact that will not be forgotten anytime soon (the horn caught us all off guard). Seàn brought the quiet intensity that we've come to expect from a competitor of his caliber. This is our first time seeing Brother Damo and he showed intuitiveness and promise. Groanal Dònal will be returning to the vacuous soils of Tuscany empty handed once again.
I love Sean saying, "There's a wee bit o kick to that one".
Shannon, I'm not sure you should drink. It was fun watching all the TRY'ers.
Oh, the flying innuendos in this episode were off the chain!! LOL
2:33 "Table tennis".. Way better than pocket pool I figure.
I love watching this guys and gals. Would love to do this one time.
when Sean said he was born in 1992......that's the year I graduated High School. not gonna lie, that stung more than any spicy liquor ever could.
What stings more is when you graduated hs before 92
That was an excellent impression of a Yamaha keyboard :o
I'm guessing it's gonna be 10 out of 10 😀👍
Wrong

Loved all the tryers
I love armagnac. Only drink ones aged more than 25yrs. It's an acquired taste.
Good job at bringing all the face people on one shoot donal, Shannon and lolsy.
Thumbs up for the Martin impression!
Her bark was AMAZING
YES! Drinking videos are the best ones! Drink more…. 🥃👍😁
1992…. Ok thank you for making me feel old! I produced a vintage 1990 and 1991! How many other Tryers are young enough to be my children 🤷🏼♀️
lol looking forward to see if the horn sticks around lol
I love how this channel made me realize I’m not the only one easily impressed by the bottles.
The French havent lost every war, just every war after Napoleon
What about wars against themselves.
@@sophiophile that's a croissant lmfao
They were in the winning side in WW1…
They lost a bunch before Napoleon, too.
Once again everyone freaks on the first sip while Martin calmly says it’s nice.
Nice to see you guys
the horn is my new favorite TRYer
Try'rs y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Really glad to see that they brought lolsy back on the videos, I know during covid-19 was kind of stuck over in New Zealand or something like that. She's one of my favorite try Channel personalities. What happened to Ciara doughtery?
I think she still appears in videos sometimes, but she has her own youtube channel now where she makes cocktails if you'd like to see more of her.
she bought a new house and has been remodeling it top to bottom
@@stockicide oh yeah I know she has her own channel, she's just been kind of absent lately. Hopefully she's doing okay, probably is
Loved seeing Martin with the horn🤣😂🤣😂
come for the lolsy stay for the lols. 3 lovely pairings of some of my fav try-ers! shannon n lolsy make the BEST faces! lol. Much love from TX 🇨🇱 🖤 💜🖤
Narrative of Self is the result of a feedback loop between “Separate Self” & Cosmos~🎈
Lolsy and Shannon doing the Advent Calendar was a scream!
You should do a Try shoot trying cognac, I love cognac❤️A good time will be had by all!
"it's the swallow that ruins it" wise words indeed
Even with Martin not enjoying this, I still expected him to say, “I’d give I a ten out of ten “
I would love to see you all try some Sake and also some Mezcal. Love this channel so much.
