Can I just have the barrel?
They come as a job-lot!
No Brandy in them there barrels Tom, just a few plasters and a bandage by the looks of things.

How can anyone drink a bandage?
Brandy is the last thing you need in a rescue situation, IMHO
Give me a few decent brandies and I wouldn’t want to be rescued.
Brandy is the main ingredient of a Corpse Reviver:
2fl oz Calvados
3/4 fl oz Brandy
1/2 fl oz Sweet Vermouth
to be shaken with ice, and poured into a chilled glass, and best “taken before 11 a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed”
