SC - Cordials

[Melissa Martines]

     One base that I'd like to suggest for coridals is brandy -- it is my 
     understanding that is is more period than Everclear, Vodka or white 
     rum.  If you don't like the after taste of a brandy cordial, try white 
     brandy.  I've had some great results using it.
     
     Also, I thought that if you distilled a wine (either by freezing or 
     the more traditional method) you were creating a brandy, not a 
     cordial.  I could be wrong about that.  Any comments?
