  2. Flame the brandy briefly, extinguish, and serve.
Nose
Stone fruit, herbal liqueur, and warm spirit rise immediately.
Palate
This is useful because it shows the layered after-dinner family still indulging in flamed theatrical service rather than merely static colour-stacking.
Finish
The finish is rich, perfumed, and warming.
Summary
A flamed apricot-led pousse-cafe from the theatrical cordial branch.
