Add brandy and cook for another minute, or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in the flour until a paste forms and cook for 1 minute, or until nutty and golden brown. Pour in stock 1/3 at a time, whisky continuously. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Season with salt.
Remove from heat and set aside for 30 minutes. Stir in cream, and bring to simmer and remove from heat. If the sauce is too thick, thin out with beef stock. If it is too thin, continue to reduce the sauce.
