Daniel Bouju Royal Brut de Fût 15 yrs old Triple "S" / Grande Champagne 60% abv
Wonderfully sensuous aromas of fruitcake and nuts. Taste explodes on the tongue in the form of smoldering spirits and marzipan. An unforgettable brandy experience.

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.

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.
