hey there,
i have to say, it's grand ol' stuff that there hennessey vs!!! however....... spend the extra few quid and buy the VSOP instead (£36 70cl), or the fine de cognac (£30 70cl) (http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-14867.aspx)!!! or else, go for the remy martin 'vsop' (http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-1778.aspx) or 'couer de cognac' (http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-7099.aspx)!!! all are available from any decent off license or supermarket!!!

btw, IMO, avoid courvoisier........

.......btw, check out asda for janneau armagnac!!! £12 for 50cl bottle!!! it's a favourite of mine to pair with a cigar, much nicer and easier going that hennessy or remy:

though he did mention an armagnac which I'd like to give a +1, IMO it's virtually always far superior to cognac (in a price matching situation at the very least) much smoother and generally better flavours, and +a gazillion on avoid courvoisier!!

A drinking problem is only when you miss... or run out!

Quite bizarre! I do love a good malt and I have tried most things alcoholic in my time but I don't recall ever trying a cognac.
Time to remedy that methinks!

I have a little 'brandy corner' on the bar, the Hine & Remy Martin always seems to disappear first....
BUT! horror of horrors , it's not me!
I actually like the cheap Spanish Soberono & Metaxa private reserve...

I'm sure I've tried a nice Metaxa in the past.
With my growing collection of malts and possibly some cognac incoming I have the urge to buy one of those proper old school rotating globes which open at the equator and house bottles, glasses etc.

Very James Bond villainesque!
