I did a brandy tasting at KWV last year where they did the normal 12 and 15 year. Honestly you can call me barbaric but I would also still mix it with coke, I probably don't have the pallet to enjoy it. It only burns your tongue (go figure) without giving a good taste.

KWV 5 year is the sweet spot for mixing with coke. Not very classy though.

If you mix with Coke, just buy the 3YO

Remy Martin (cognac). The recipient is normally too scared to add Coke etc.

Or, if he/she does add a mixer, you should give serious thought as to whether you want them as a friend

Or, to be different, how about an Armagnac ?
