Great spirit incredibly flavorful and great with a cigAar great review
Sunshine in a bottle. You need a break from whisky, every once an a while.
I haven’t had any Courvoisier in a long time, but I’ve never been a huge fan of the VS level. I got exposed to Hennessy VSOP about 35 years ago and have been a fan ever since. I’ve tried bottles of the VS a few times, but it’s worth it to me to pay up for the VSOP, which I can usually find for between $60-$70. I’ve had the XO, and like it, but don’t think there is enough improvement over VSOP to justify the price difference, but I do think there is enough improvement in quality and taste to justify buying VSOP over VS.
I’d rather spend a bit more for Martell XO or De Luze XO. With these two, about $150 a bottle, you’ll get some real complexity, some rancio, nice dried fruit and a long finish. Usually, the VS, for me, is just too alcohol forward. Okay mixed, but not for after dinner enjoyment.
I have almost finished my Drambuie which I will get another bottle I have just bought a bottle of this cognac and searched it here on YouTube Scotch neat no ice is my drink brandy. Yes please, this botttle you opened here is the first cognac I have purchased, Looking forward to sitting down at home with this cheers Subscribed
To funny Jason. I picked up a bottle the other day to try and I am sitting here with Daina, sipping on a glass of courvoisier right now and bam your review popped up. Great review. Every one here says Hi
I had Courvoisier VS. totally agree! great view and enlightenment.
Interesting experiment…. Maybe some day I will give it a try. So far, I have not liked any brandy that I have tried, but it has been a long time since then, and in the meantime I have come from the peated end of Scotch and learned to appreciate sherry, so I guess it’s possible that I could learn to appreciate this…
do you drink any Napoleon grade cognacs? Napoleon grade meaning better than VSOP but below XO?
Nice review buddy. Now get back to whisky. LOL
Thank you for the review. I’ve been wanting to try a decent entry level cognac for a while. Where I live I see this particular brand on sale quite often, as a matter of fact, I just saw it going for $21 (the VS that is) and the VSOP for $25! I might as well get a couple and try them out for myself 😉
On a side note, will you ever make tequila reviews? Just saying. 😉
