robin Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Does anyone on here drink much cognac? Brandy has always been my favourite spirit but I used to think people who spent £80+ on a bottle of booze obviously had more money then sense. A simple VSOP was enough for me. This was until I ordered some Remy Martin XO at a restaurant and it was served heated. It wasn’t so much a drink as an experience. I am looking to get a bottle of something finer and wondered if there were any experienced connoisseurs on here with some recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Delamain Cognac but you are looking at £300 + for a vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel I had the knowledge to fully appreciate it though. Still, another mark in lifes book of experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 try henesey paradise. good shizzle that is! about £350 a bottle tho, oh how the other half live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Have you both had henesey paradise or Delamain vintage Cognac? How does it compare to other well known brands? I'd like to get an idea before I splash out on my next bottle. I quite like the Hine Antique. I would love to try the talent but at 4500 euros a bottle I doubt thats going to happen. http://www.hine.cognatheque.com/hine_boutique_en.php?langue=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The most expensive and glam we have served has to be the Remy Martin Louis XIII, about £750 a bottle and made from Champagne grapes, comes in a hand cut crystal bottle and is so special P Diddly drinks it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Have you both had henesey paradise We stock it at work. so yes have sampled it a few times! tastes best when left in the glass for 30 min or so. Its definitely worth every penny, very smooth to drink and doesn't leave a nasty after taste like cooking brandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
