My former boss had a penchant for expensive things he didn't understand
and the bottle of Louis XIII he kept behind his desk was a prime example.
I had the fortune to sample a few glasses, the most recently on my last day there. I don't pretend to be a connoisseur of Cognac, but I can tell you... it was damn good.
Especially for being owned by a man who hardly drinks

Drooooool
Yes, I've drank a couple of glasses of Louis XIII cognac. Damn fine stuff. Bottle costs about 300 dollars / euros last time I checked.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I have two that I recommend:
GERMAIN-ROBIN Select Barrel XO. They bottle ten barrels/year (fewer than 400 cases).
Of course, technically not a cognac...just try it.
And:
MAISON SURRENNE Single Vintage XO 100 % Grande Champagne.
Both are available from Caddell and Williams.

The cognac market is driven by 2 trends, large manufacturers that offer great consistent products and small producers that offer examples of exceptional quality. Cognac prices are typically high for either but they can outrageous for these jewels produced by small distilleries. Both Gensac and Hardy produce modestly priced examples that rival some more expensive brands. Another alternative is Rhum (not to be confused with rum) from the French Caribbean islands which are typically less expensive than cognac and superbly complex.

Does anyone else enjoy a warmed cognac, or is it just me? I know it can be more then $200 a bottle, but I can't be alone? I first learned about this heavenly liquid watching and old episode of M*A*S*H many years ago. "Major Charles Emerson Winchester III" seems to be the snooty type, but he loved it (his character did). and I did buy a bottle... LOVED IT. Especially on a cold Canadian winter. I am as *hooked* as my budget allows, but wow! This stuff is soft, smooth as silicone, and has sweet after taste that for once is pleasurably decent...
Does anyone else here enjoy this such pleasure?

Oh yes, a fine Cognac is one of life's true pleasures.
After a good meal, a glass of Cognac and a cup of coffee is very nice.Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....
