Courvoisier Cognac V.S.O.P.

Pros: strong fruit flavors, widely available, good value, goes well with some cigars.

Cons: somewhat "bright" for aged cognac

The Bottom Line: A good everyday sipping Cognac with sweet fruit flavor, a must-try for budget conscious Cognac drinkers

Review: As you might guess, I love drinking distilled spirits. Unlike the other two reviewers hereof, I rarely get much of a buzz from drinking these spirits, since the taste is much more of an attraction to me; moreover, in deference to the New England Journal...

Pros: Rich, complex, strong taste of oak.

Cons: I'm empty again.

Review: Since I never look a gift horse in the mouth, I graciously opened this lovely bottle of Cognac after lunch. Immediately upon opening, we were intoxicated with the familiar sweet oak bouquet of this spirit. Yum!

Courvoisier VSOP is considered...

Pros: Wonderful aroma and flavor.

Cons: I tend to have more than I should.

Review: I don't drink all that much, as a rule, but I do have a few favorite beverages for which I will freely admit having more than a weakness. I have a passion for desert-dry vodka martinis, good Italian grappa, certain types of champagne, and good brandy....
