Well, last time I checked, I was only about half-pickled, and most of that
was Scotch, not brandy, but I've been using the somewhat less efficient
method of working from the inside out...
sorry... couldn't resist...
I've never used alcohol to preserve chiles, but I have seen several
references to chile-enhanced spirits (someone here mentioned peppered
sherry not too long ago, IIRC...), and I have used chiles, usually
habaneros, to doctor up both vodka and tequila. I don't know how well the
alcohol actually preserves the chile- in my experience much of the heat and
flavor of the chile leaches out if you leave them in there too long, but
never having used brandy I can't swear that that would happen.
