Courvoisier. It was a natural progression from American bourbon. After a while the bourbon became too sweet for my taste. I moved to Courvosier. For some reason Remy Martin and Martell just didn't taste quite right. It was sort of like drinking flavored vodka. Or maybe similar to the difference between Tangueray and Blue Saphire gin (I drink Tangueray. Blue Saphire doesn't taste right to me).
I kind of waffled between Courvoisier and Scotch for a good while drinking mainly cognac for a number of years. Ended up drinking scotch. Very odd with cognac coming from grapes and being closest to scotch as a libation.

Not a Cognac, but I was pleasantly surprised by a Berneroy XO Calvados I bought this Christmas. Man was it smooth. (And a couple of tablespoons in the gravy went perfectly with the roast goose this Christmas!)

My personal favorites are Pierre Ferrand and Remy Martin (for real grapey flavor).

Thanked: 6 Fine Cognac
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....

Fine cognac is a bliss.
I don't mind dropping 100 or 200$ for a bottle of 40 year old cognac, because I drink one glass per time, and a bottle will last a long time.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

A fine cognac is indeed one of the finer things in life.
My favorite at this point in time is
Bache-Gabrielsen P&R X.O. 1975.
I picked up several bottles of this one.Last edited by Otto; 01-05-2012 at 10:39 AM.
