Brandy on 'Something for the weekend' TV programme

[jon1968]

In the cocktail segment a few weeks back the cocktail maker blokey brought in an ancient bottle of brandy he has in his bar and said it was �2000 a shot (or �10 to touch the bottle - eek).

Does anybody remember or know what it is?

Not holding my breath waiting for an answer from them Sense! The e-mail was from the production company not from the beeb, think I�ll just wait and try and clock his name when he�s next on! Many thanks.

Hon , the link had his name on he IS Andy Pearson!

Ta Sense but I clocked him a couple of weeks ago and the bloke I was looking for was the older Italian guy who�s on there every so often. I can�t remember his name now but did Google it at the time and remember he works at the Lanesborough and it turns out the cognac dates from the French revolution. Bit pricey for me but was intrigued!
