Re: Cognac?
I'm not real big on Cognac, or brandy for that matter, but when I do drink cognac its Courvoisier. I usually only drink it during the winter when I can sit around the fireplace or a fire pit in the back yard. I really prefer B&B or Drambuie in those situations though.

Re: Cognac?
I love Cognac. In general, I stay away from the big brands as they usually just make bare minimum of aging to qualify for what ever level be it XO, VSOP...
Try Pierre Ferrand or Tessoron for the money and you'll never go back to Remy.

 I used to drink Hennessy and Courvoisier and thought I was a cognac fan, and then I tried a small label named Cognac Seguinot. It was not only cheaper, but made the big labels seem unpalatable.

Re: Cognac?
Although I'm hardly anything but a cognac noob, I like Claude Chatelier VSOP on occasion.

Re: Cognac?
Not sure if you'll be able to find this at your local B&M, but it's a heck of a deal. This is 30 year old agardente which is from Portugal. Agardente is what's used in port to fortify it. Very Cognac like tasting, but also much different. I paid only $57.00 for this!
Yikes, I just bought this two weeks ago, did not realize how much is missing until I took this photo! If you live in New England, Kappy's sells it, and it's imported from New Bedford.

Germain-Robin California brandy
This is made by the traditional method, by a distiller whose family has made the spirit in Cognac, France (where all Cognac must originate, of course) for 200 years. Competes with and surpasses $700 XO's according to some reviewers, named "Best Spirit in the World" by the Robb Report. Price? The XO is around $100, the VSOP level about $60. I've had it, and it indeed is tasty. It's a little hard to find (try BevMo).
http://www.germain-robin.com/ Having said that, my favorite Cognac at the XO level is Remy Martin, but for VSOP I prefer Courvoisier, and it can be had for under $25.
