 Cuvée Jean Godet

Cuvée Jean Godet
VS de Luxe
5 yrs old
Blend / Borderies, Fins Bois, & Bons Bois
40% abv

Honeyed, caramel-like, oily bouquet. At palate entry, tastes of dates, roasted almond, walnut paste and baked pear delight; the midpalate highlights the cheese-like and bacony rancio. The aftertaste blankets the tongue in sumptuous coats of oil, rancio and maple sugar.

 Bernard Boutinet

Bernard Boutinet
Coeur de Fins Bois
6 yrs old
Triple "S" / Fins Bois
50% abv

This Cognac is aged in extremely old casks, so very little tannin is extracted. Not the usual tannin and wood typically found in a traditional Cognac, so this Coeur de Fins Bois region allows us to discover the authentic, fresh perfumes from the grapes, the vines, and the white flower flavours. Unusual, but exciting!

The top 3 cognacs are commercially and unacceptably "sweet". Maybe fine for NBA players. And, vanilla is not something I think of as a positive in cognac like in Kelt. As Doug says "If you haven't heard of it it is probably very good"-- Gourmel was tops, but I am not sure anymore. I am a fan of Dom. Giraud which I buy by the case every few months. The Beaulon, a bit wshort in the finish but far better than most out there.

Well if you actually travel to france to purchase Remy Martin you don't get any additives, casue I've tried their VSOP US Import and Non Import and there is a HUGE difference.

"Stick to Remy Martin, Courvoisier,and Hennessy. These premium brands offer the best in each price range." Ha ha ha, you gave me a hearty laugh! The 100% Folle Blanche 7-year-old Chateau Beaulon will knock the socks off of any of the "big four" Cognacs, until you get into their really pricey stuff. With Cognac, if you haven't heard of it, it's probably very good, and likely devoid of boise additive. Stay away from the big four.

Stick to Remy Martin, Courvoisier,and Hennessy. These premium brands offer the best in each price range. I admit there are many on this list I have not tried, but have had the sample a wide range of the ones listed. Yes, price matters! Louis X111 is heaven but at what price?
