Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe creator spends over $900 testing brandies and cognacs ranging from $14.99 to $310. Through blind tastings and emotional reflections, he ranks them from S to F tier, discovering that price does not always determine quality and that certain spirits evoke powerful nostalgic memories of his family and childhood.
I spent over $900 on different brandies ranging from $14.99 to $310.
To find out which brandy is the best brandy, we're gonna rate them from S tier to F tier.
S being super good brandy, and F being more brandy.
Like, comment, subscribe, and let's just start drinking.
It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work, it's not gonna work.
There's no way that cheap brandy is better than the most expensive brandy.
Going in order starting with the cheapest, $14.99.
Fun fact, uh, this is the brandy my parents would absolutely get f***ed on.
I've never had this before, I get to see exactly what all the parental hype was about.
We haven't done a tier list in so long.
The last video we did was a tier list.
It's time for a shot.
It's gonna be a very, very nasty day.
Alright, sniff test.
I'll be honest, it smells like garbage bags.
So that is not off to a great start.
What were my parents thinking?
So brandy is a, brandy is an aged wine, alright?
That's in like, it's burnt aged wine.
Um, that's all I know about brandy.
Dibogia.
Wow, that is watered down garbage.
Like, I get it.
Oh, but it warms the heart.
Alright, I get it.
Brandy, brandy's pretty okay.
Here's the thing, my parents, mom, dad, Greg and Eda, I love you.
Thank you for watching and supporting your child through hard times and let me steal
your credit card.
Dibogia is like, kind of weird at the beginning because it's very watery.
It's got like, a little bit of that like, spice.
Imagine a whiskey that was sweet.
That is what this particular brandy tastes like.
It's got a little note of like, flowers.
That's it.
We're tossing this sucker up on the B list.
Can't be, can't be, can't be beat, can't be beat.
Could it?
For value?
Banging.
So we're going to start low price and we're going to go all the way up to the higher priced
ones.
Hopefully we finish it and I don't lose my sanity and my liver does not fail me.
I'll tell you what brandy does to me.
It makes me feel unstoppable.
I want to put E&J brandy in the wells and I'm going to give it to kids.
This in of itself is an experience that I hope you have.
I get why it's good.
It's what I'm getting at.
I'm not even like, obviously I'm inebriated, but like.
If you ever watched the rum tier list video, we made it almost to the end until I blacked out.
We're not going to let that happen today, are we?
You made it to the end of the rum.
It's the vodka you're thinking of.
We've done a lot of these.
You should check them all out.
Here's a playlist.
It's from France.
I wonder if I could buy it fresh.
Send it to my grandpa?

St. Remy.
Fun fact.
This is my grandfather's favorite, I believe.
You should probably ask him.
He's sleeping right now.
Every time we had a little shot of Brandy in his little bar in the basement, we would say,
So this is a very heartfelt video for me.
I have been waiting to do this one for a long time.
It is a special month.
I love this.
That was good.
All right.
This one is also yellow.
Smell.
Sniff test.
A little bit different.
Smells more.
Smells a lot more caramelly.
This smells like whiskey.
Does that make sense?
Come here.
Smell this.
Not you.
Does it not smell like?
It smells like whiskey.
Yeah, you know what it is.
All right.
Smell this.
To Ivan Leitch.
Dibogia.
That is way different.
That is way better.
And I'm not just tying this to the memories of my grandfather, who's still kicking, by the way.
I'm like, I am.
This is so good.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
This one does not have a watery taste to it.
This one has more of a.
This one tastes like a port wine that has less of a tardiness.
Does that make sense?
Like, it's so smooth.
It is.
It should be illegal as to how smooth this Remy is.
And for like, what?
17 bucks?
Heck, yeah.
This is my favorite video.
I don't know if you can tell.
I've been happy lately, guys.
I've been smiling when I wake up, but going to bed early, waking up early by choice.
Constipated right now, but that doesn't matter.
Proverbs.
You see this?
I'm living this.
St. Remy's very, very good.
I'm going to throw it up on the A tier.
I think it deserves to be there.
It's very smooth, very mellow.
Not as much burn as the Dubon.
So if you like burn, Dubon's going to be better.
But if you like smooth all the way through, St. Remy's.
That was a good king.
Dude, this is so bad.
I love this video.
I have not.
Okay, so I have not tried this one before.
If you couldn't tell.
I've only had two of these ever in my life.
The last one and one coming up.
The rest of these, I've never tried.
This is the most blind tier list you've ever seen.
And I'm going to smile the entire way through.
Jordan, Jordan.
It's like the French.
This is, this is Jordan.
So VSOP stands for very special old pale.
Pain, pale, pale, pale.
Old pale.
My mouth is the pale.
And this pale is thirsty.
So good.
Your feet are so dirty, dude.
It's time for a shot.
Another yellow one.
A German brandy.
All right.
Well, my grandpa won't like that.
Let's go.
We'll sniff test.
Way different.
I got like a shiver down the back of my neck.
Because it smells like, like vanilla.
Dibogia.
This tastes way more like a wine.
And I love it.
It's like, it's, it's like I've, I've uncovered something.
It's like the amount of brandy my parents have drunk has entered my system.
And I've just never drank brandy until now on camera to enjoy it with you guys.
And I'm just uncovering how good brandy is.
Because I'll tell you right now, this brandy right here is an A tier.
And I'll be honest.
I don't think ever in the history of the Dokkaebi tier lists,
have we ever had anything for the first three end up this high.
Tell me I'm wrong.
The first three.
There's always one sh** to ruin it all.
And I don't think that's happening today.
Yeah.
Want a little hit?
Want a hit of this sh**?
I'll have a hit.
You want a little hit of this?
If you go back in time to bakta, this thing right here is ancient calvados and armanac.
So French brandies that have been infused and mixed in with rye.
Rye whiskey to make the most amazing thing I've ever had.
So you're right.
When you have a whiskey and you have brandy together and you blend them perfectly,
you make something so beautiful.
If there's any, this is an SSS plus tier drink right here.
If you ever get a chance to have, we're off topic, but I love it.
F**k you.
This is the greatest thing ever.
It's not even a brandy, but it has brandy in it.
I love you bakta.
If anything today beats bakta, I am going to Kurt Cobain myself.
We're putting this up on, this is, this is where we need to be.
All right.
We're going to put a little French.
We're going to put French fry Kirby on top.
If anything beats that, it's going up on the shelf of love.
But this is, yeah, this is an A tier.
This is A tier.
I'm popped!
Okay.
I've never wanted to run from this side to the next side to grab the next drink before my life.
But here we go.
Three.
It's Olympic season, right?
Well, it might be over.
Nah, it's still going.
All right.
Three, two, one, time it.
Stock 84!
Stock 84 from the Czech Republic.
This, I'm not even positive if it's brandy.
The ingredients are alcohol,
brandy,
flavor.
Let's crank this tab.
Good crank.
So yellow.
Sniff test.
This smells like butterscotch Nutella.
1884, huh?
Doubt it.
Dibogia.
The f**k is that?
They don't even call it brandy.
They call it spirit drink.
But yet it's in the brandy section?
If you're trying to imitate a brandy, you're very, very close.
Keep trying, buddy.
You gotta get there.
But this is not brandy.
It's got a brandy flavor, but it's so spicy.
It's grossly spicy.
I don't like it.
Put it on the F tier.
I don't think it's good at all.
I don't think it's trying.
It's trying too hard to be cool.
And we don't like fake pieces of poop in this house.
Get him out of here.
Next on the list.
E and J.
It's in the game.
This is the only other brandy that I've actually had in this entire tier list.
I know it's pretty good, but it's been a while.
So we're gonna double check it.
Okay, ready?
Are you ready?
Holy s**t.
What's up with this lid?
All right, hold up.
That's tight.
Tight.
By the way, I'm wearing...
I thought I bought socks that were brandy, but I guess I bought wine socks instead.
Maybe it's burnt wine.
But hang on, if we set this on fire, now it's brandy socks.
I'm gonna let you figure that out.
What?
You want me to ******* CGI fire on your foot?
Can you not?
Sniff test.
Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Wait.
It smells like bazooka ******* joe bubblegum.
Dibogia.
Wow.
It's the best so far.
It's the best maybe ever.
Holy s**t.
S tier.
Oh, f**k me so...
God, I can't...
I cannot imagine living in a third world country
that does not have E&J brandy.
I need to get rich.
I need to make so much unfathomable ******* much money so I can get...
so I can buy the E&J brand and buy and f**k the well water.
E&J brandy wells.
I want to put...
I want to put E&J brandy in the wells.
I'm going to give it to kids.
Come to me.
Come, come with me to the garage.
Welcome to the f**k pit.
We're going to fight the s**t out of this bag.
The only thing that makes me very uncomfortable about this
is that it looks exactly like the bottle of old monk rum.
Tell me these aren't twins right now because they look like twins.
Where is it from?
Italy.
I feel like...
When I wear a suit, I feel like I look like Josh Strife Hayes.
Like the YouTube gaming commentary...
commentator.
But he looks better.
I love you, Josh.
I think it's from Italy.
I almost spilled it all over my hand.
It's kind of like orange...
It's not orange rinds, but it smells rindy.
Very rindy.
Rindy.
Rindy?
Ryan D.
Ryan D?
Ryan Doka.
D stands for Doka.
Ryan D.
Ryan Doka?
Ryan Doka.
It smells like Ryan...
Dibogia.
There's something about brandy that just makes me want to just hug.
Hold on.
With the new allegations against every YouTuber coming out, I do not want to say child.
Hug a willing participant.
There's so much flavor in like every different...
Every brandy is different.
This one has more floral, but there's almost no burn whatsoever.
I could drink this sh** straight.
S tier.
This is such a...
There's such a different type of S tier.
I don't understand, dude.
If only my parents understood there's something better than Dabone.
They'd be so f*****g up right now.
They'd be so f*****g pumped.
Dad.
Greg.
Dad, I know you're watching.
I'm gonna call my dad.
Holy sh**.
I got like 16 missed calls.
Hello.
How are you?
Good.
How are you doing?
I'm all right.
Good.
So FYI, you're currently on camera for the Doke Orion video.
Are you excited?
I'm on camera.
What do you mean?
You're being recorded at this exact moment.
No way.
Yeah.
Okay.
So you won't believe it.
So we're doing a brandy tier list.
So we bought every brandy under the sun.
Holy Christ, man.
So your number one go-to brandy was Dabone.
Yeah, Daboney.
Daboney.
Grandpa's favorite was St. Remy's.
Yeah.
What if I told you at my house, at this exact moment,
I have a $308 bottle of a Remy Martin XO brandy?
What?
$300.
Holy Christ, man.
Now, I'm not telling you if you came over here, you could have one quick sippy.
Oh, okay.
But if you did, you could make history on the Doke Orion channel.
I'd love to, but I don't want to drive anywhere.
And that's safe.
Yeah, yeah.
I might not make it home.
Can I get you to say Dibogia?
Dibogia.
Hell yeah.
All right, Dad, I love you.
I'll talk to you later.
I'll get you over for the Remy Martin XO $310 one.
Okay, no, thank you.
All right, love you.
Have a good night.
Drink responsibly.
We're going to Greece.
Metaxa.
This is Metaxa.
It's a Greek.
Oh no, Dylan, this one says Greek spirit.
This doesn't say Greek brandy.
But Metaxa might be like Greek for brandy.
This Greek one is seven stars.
And we're only going up in price.
Does that mean that this is worth seven stars?
It's more orange than yellow.
Christina.
Yes?
It's your boy, Ryan.
Hi, Ryan.
Hi, I got a question for you.
What is cheers in Greek?
Cheers?
Cheers, yeah.
What's cheers?
Cheers, like a slogan of like,
yeah, I'm about to drink this shot of alcohol.
Are you not Greek?
I am, but we don't have a cheers.
No, like when you take a shot of alcohol, what do you say?
Yamas.
Yes.
All right, thank you very much.
Have a good night.
Can you too.
Women.
Sniff test.
This smells so much like rum.
Dibogia.
That is not in any way similar.
To anything I've had today.
This is orangey.
I have never had anything like this in my life.
What in God's name is this?
I don't even, I'll be honest.
I don't think this, like, I get it.
This is brandy.
Apparently this is brandy.
I don't, this is so weird.
There's no words for what I just tasted.
It's like a rum, after all, like had a beautiful baby.
This is one of the best things I've ever had in my life.
Dylan, Dylan, you're not, you are nowhere near ready.
I'm not going to put it on the S tier,
but this absolutely in its own way belongs in the A tier
for how absolutely unique it is.
Without a doubt, seven and a half stars.
They should add an extra half star for how good
and how many stars this deserves.
Metaxa.
Yamas.
St. Remy XO.
My dad says he hates it.
Let's see if he's right.
If it's in a box, it's expensive.
It should be holding back the most incredible liquor
of all time.
That's my thought process.
Oh my God, Dylan.
My, I, I have 100% had this at my grandpa's.
Change of plans.
I've had three of these for sure.
Unfortunately, but fortunately,
I do have fond memories of this bottle.
Shipping.
Today's sponsor, by the way, if you skip the ad,
go back to 316.
When I look at this bottle,
the only thing that comes to me is reminiscing
of going downstairs to my grandpa's house,
to his bar top and pulling up to St. Remy.
He's grabbing his like colored shot glasses,
his flute, his flute shot glasses,
taking a shot, diabosia, going on with the day.
Loving the smell of the grandpa's house.
This is a great time.
God, I love that, man.
Let's go.
Now, if your pee looks like this,
you should see a doctor immediately.
Sniff test.
When I, when I think of Brandy,
I, I imagine that smell.
I think Brandy is such a beautiful spirit and alcohol
because it like, we, we're not at the top yet,
but I feel as though this is such a beautiful experience.
I almost feel like crying because this is so nice.
Let's go, baby.
Oh my God.
I, I love Brandy.
Brandy is good.
Brandy's great.
My parents loved Brandy so much.
They named a dog Brandy.
This is such a weird video, dude.
Let's go.
All right.
To Ivan Lynch.
Dibosia.
Dude, this is like, I'm gonna cry.
I don't know what it is.
There's something so,
there's something so really nice
about whatever this is.
Like St. Remy XL.
It's like, it's not, it's not just a drink.
This in of itself is an experience that I hope you have
because it's so nice.
I get why it's good is what I'm getting at.
Like, I'm not even like, obviously I'm inebriated,
but like slap it on the S tier because it's so good.
What is this video?
This is the weirdest video I've ever done.
Oh, wow.
What an emotion.
Like, well, listen, when I made fun of
old monk seven-year padded rum and every Indian was like,
oh, it's an emotion, bro.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
If you have, if you have a tie to something,
God damn.
Brilliant.
And in fact,
it's staying at the top.
This is so real, dude.
So if you ask me how St. Remy's XO is,
it's really good.
Jesus, dude.
If, if you had told me I would get emotional
for a stupid YouTube video, I would never believe you.
But here we are.
Everything else I've never tried.
Let's keep going.
By the way, if you haven't visited dokerion.com,
we got brand new merch.
Future liver transplant patient.
Get this shirt now because it's not going to last.
We got 55 only available.
Why 55?
I don't know.
We're about to put the fun back at the fun dad door.
I had a little bit of time to cry in the bathroom,
but I am back.
So this is fun.
All right, let's get rid of this.
I don't even know what it is.
Fundador brandy cobbler.
We'll make that tomorrow.
Spain.
This is a Spanish brand.
Spanish brandy.
Fundador is putting the fun back indoors.
Let's get it.
I take back everything I said about easy poor tops.
Cause that was so, so nice.
Whoa.
I have so many tears in my nostrils right now.
What the, like, can we just bring it back?
That was, am I right?
You, you've never seen me cry.
I just want to be regular Ryan.
But here we are.
Sniff test.
Smells exactly like this one.
Diveosia.
It's almost like these are just getting better and better and better.
So when you, when you, okay, listen.
Looking back at how far we've come,
whatever price point you can match,
all of these,
all of these are incredibly worth your money.
If you have a little bit of extra,
if you have a little bit of extra bucks,
put the fun back into Fundador.
Cause that's worth it.
This piece of s*** S tier.
Incredible S tier.
It has such a sweet caramel,
oaky flavor.
It tastes like your favorite rye whiskey.
If you're into that, that is how good it is.
I, listen, I'm having an epiphany moment right now.
Brandy is the be all end all best mother f*** drink of all time.
For those going through it.
Brandy beans has literally ruined the brand of brandy.
No, dude, literally f*** brandy beans.
If you have ever been coaxed into having a brandy bean,
forget about them.
Cause brandy by itself is ridiculous.
I feel like you can cook something really well with brandy.
I just don't know what it is yet.
Oh, wait, we should honestly don't.
We're at that point.
We should check.
All right.
We got this Amazon basics breathalyzer.
We're going to see where we're at.
Oh, dude.
I can't believe this video got emotional.
You know, it's big though.
That's good.
All right.
Let's see what the, let's see what the cameraman's at.
Quit bro.
Point one eight.
So the final three, hold on.
Okay.
Bronze, silver, gold, Olympics.
Yeah.
That's cost like probably like 80 bucks.
Bro.
Spain goes hard.
If you know of any other brandy, that is number one.
Let me know.
If I missed it, post in the comments below.
Cause I will buy it for the next one.
Let's go.
And don't tell me the pousse or whatever it's called.
Jay Z's Jay Z's is nothing in comparison.
Oh my God.
It's a off top deal.
This is by far the darkest brandy we have had all day.
Sniff test.
Smell both of those right now.
It does smell like vodka.
That's so funny.
I have, I have never been more happy to be a creator of my life.
This is the greatest video I have.
I think I've ever, I've ever made.
Let's go.
Dibosia.
Let me tell you, if, if it only gets better from here, I will have made it in life.
This beautiful piece of art.
Put on the S tier.
However, and I can not in any, like in any day, believe this, but.
This, this tastes exactly like vodka without obviously the, the, the rye whiskey with the
blend.
This is incredible.
In fact, forget about whatever I just said.
Put whatever this is on the S S tier.
Add an S S tier.
Cause this is where it belongs.
This is incredible.
Two left.
Can you believe it?
If you made it this far in the video, please comment below.
I can't believe Ryan cried so deeply on camera.
I'm not embarrassed.
Emotions are real.
And I'm a real guy.
From the Olympic podium, we have the silver DeLuz Cognac.
Now, all brandy is Cognac, but not all Cognac is brandy.
God, that is such a beautiful, beautiful bottle.
Thank you shipping for sponsoring today's video.
Oh, dude, where's this from?
Who do I think?
France, France.
Listen, you're having the Olympics right now.
Uh, it is Paris.
People are puking in your rivers cause you're swimming, but I don't care because thank you
so much for making what could be hopefully a good thing.
This is a Christmas style Cognac.
Wow.
You know, if I looked at the logo, I'd probably be able to find out because there is, uh,
unlimited amounts of snowflakes.
So the last two, the one thing I know is that you want a flute style tasting glass.
If you want the air to breathe, I think.
I'm not, I'm not like a trained professional, but doesn't this look better?
All right.
Give it a little swish.
Sniff test.
Dylan.
Wow.
Smell that.
Tell me it does not smell like bakta.
It smells like bakta.
Dibogia.
It is Christmas.
You were six years old.
You wake up early.
You run down the stairs.
You're greeted by a beautiful multicolored Christmas tree.
It is warm.
You feel right.
You feel nice.
You're young.
Everything is nostalgic.
You go under the Christmas tree.
You're being so quiet.
You're thinking nobody's going to hear me.
All of a sudden your parents come down.
Your family, if you haven't come down, they gather around.
Oh, hey, let's open presents.
Wow.
Thank God.
Everybody's here.
Time to open it up.
Oh my God.
What am I going to get?
Buzz Lightyear.
Wow.
How did you know?
I love Buzz Lightyear.
You open it up.
Dad, can you undo the restraints on Buzz Lightyear?
Because you can't do it.
You don't know how to use scissors yet.
Of course, son.
I can do that.
Boom.
Have fun.
Your dad's sipping a little thing of the rocks.
Wow.
Oh my God.
A Buzz Lightyear.
This is so fun.
This right here is a 2001 Christmas.
2001.
If you were born anytime beyond 2001, sorry, you're not born yet.
But if you're before 2001, you f***ing know.
You know what Christmas feels like.
Put it on the S tier.
Put it so well on the S tier that you think to yourself,
oh my God, I have not told anybody that I love them for a long time.
That's how S tier it is.
You've made it to the final part of the video.
This is a $310 bottle of brandy.
However, keep this in mind.
This is a cognac.
A St. Remy's old, not just old, extra old cognac.
It's like if this one had a grandpa, it'd be this one.
$310.
The most I've ever spent on anything.
I cannot believe how beautiful this bottle is.
Wow.
Okay, let's get into it.
This is a golden, extra old cognac from France.
My friends, it's the most expensive brandy that I could find
and without going into like the $2,000 range for Hennessy Paradis.
This is a very hefty lid.
I love you.
Gamers, friends, family, loved ones, this one is for you.
D'Iboja.
Let's pour a shot.
The color, dark, moody, almost amber, but a smell test.
Time for sniff test.
Money does buy happiness.
Me, sideways.
To Ivan Lych.
D'Iboja.
Now, I don't know how the f*** this is possible,
but this reminds me of two things.
D'Iboja and just the original St. Remnants.
And it all comes back to one thing.
Family.
Wow.
Now, I'll be honest.
This right here, for special people only.
This is such a beautiful...
Like, it does not linger.
It is so quick.
This right here is a fleeting moment.
It reminds you of how beautiful life is and how time is fleeting so fast
and how you have to be you right now.
S. S.
Tear.
Put it on top.
In this video, I cried.
I laughed.
I smiled.
And I made a couple giggles.
But it doesn't matter.
Because right now, you're watching me.
Don't grind.
