    Ahhh thank you for clarifying. That, to me, raises the question raises the question of taste. Is there much of a difference in taste as far as equal quality goes? Or is it one of those things where cognac tends to be better quality because it is so heavily regulated? Thanks for all the help guys.
    No that pistol isn't the only thing under my kilt, but I can tell you both of them work just fine

    Yes there is a huge difference in tastes between the various Cognacs, Brandys and Armagnacs. You can get them from velvety smooth and mild to the "not-so-much".

    Glad to know other enjoy such a pricey little pleasure. Here in Ontario, there all held behind glass at our liquor stores. (can't see the typical shoplifting thug go for Cognac)

    Personally I liked it slightly warmed, though I here some like it ice cold. I would think being chilled would kill the flavor. That's just me though.

    In my opinion the best bang for the buck is the Rémy Martin XO, i love this stuff.

    This evening I'm enjoying a glass or two of
    Bache-Gabrielsen P&R X.O. 1975.

    Life is good.
