After Dinner Snifter
Discussion
You know the drill, colder evenings, fire on, film on, had enough of wine and you delve into the drinks cabinet and are met with the wife's Aperol, gin, bacardi and sigh.
I'm not really a spirit man, by this I mean whisky, brandy, malts, then again maybe I've not tried 'the one', but fancy something that will sit easy, warming but not sickly sweet or blow my throat apart at the same time.
What do you guys recommend to have over some ice to settle in for the night.
Of course this will need some homework down the pub before committing to a whole bottle.

LBV port
or Pedro Ximenez sherry.
The sherry is a dark reasonably sweet one but tastes of raisins and rich fruit cake which I like.
I do like a whisky every now and then. Not heavily peated though. Usually a speyside or highland whisky. Current favourite distilery is Scapa for its smoothness and balance of flavour.

I recently discovered something that sounds like what you're after. Keo Three Star, can't be called a brandy, but a 'brandy' it is. At only 30% proof it's light and easily drinkable, too easy. I have it neat, no ice.
