From what I've read about it, and since a year or so ago I was considering buying a bottle to celebrate the start of my annual vacation with a cigar, I've read quite a bit – it's a decent French brandy "for sipping," but nothing more. So, there's no question of any "complexity," especially since the flavor range of brandies is very limited compared to whiskey.
As for sake, I keep meaning to try it, but I never get around to it. In many ways, this is due to the atmosphere: traditionally, sake is not meant to be drunk alone, and I always try to observe the customs of consuming a drink, and ideally, to take into account the culture of its homeland at a given moment. To "feel" the drink, so to speak, and this feeling always consists of two parts: the subject and the object, and the subject must match the object... I hope you understand what I meant, because I myself don't understand it... In short, the prospect of drinking sake while sitting in a bathrobe in front of a laptop and looking at factory chimneys out the window evokes a strong sense of internal contradiction in me. And sake is expensive, and I doubt it keeps well after opening. I'd rather buy another bottle of whiskey.
