As with any spirit like whisky, congac, brandy never buy the el cheapo stuff. like you said... blech...

If you really enjoy a nice warm brandy you should get one of these: http://fantes.com/images/1839-3bar.jpg

never use it on Congac however. (Some people say you can, but Congac should really be at room temp+heat of your hand on the glass)

I had a name for the cheap E&J after trying it. I called it "E"rk & "J"erk. Erk being the sound you make after drinking it, and Jerk being the involuntary muscle spasm that follows.
