yeah if you soak the bottle in warm water for a while it makes things a lot easier. your muscles relax more and you generally have a better time

raynal is just as good as hennesssy and costs less cause you're not paying for the bullshit marketing, but i still would avoid it

cognac should taste like caramel sunshine and liquid gold. its expensive for a reason. martell at least has that cognac experience and you can actually buy it at a standard liquor store

i hope everybody gets to sip a boutique cognac sometime, they're amazing

I'm withholding judgement on this cheap rear end bottle of raynal until I get over this cold, but so far it just reminds me of a sweet bourbon. It's also incredibly smooth for a $17 bottle of liquor, which I wasn't expecting after first smelling it. If this is what Hennessssy tastes like then I get it. It's relatively smooth and a 1.75L costs about what I paid for a bottle of Titos while I was there.

Whereas a $17 bottle of bourbon would taste like petrol.

As someone who frequently buys $20 bottle of bourbon, can confirm.

I usually drink jäger. Never had much cognac, let alone special cognac, let alone very special cognac.

Hennessey is overpriced poo poo. Buy a decent bottle of scotch instead.

You can buy Hennessy at standard liquor stores, they just aren’t allowed to have it on open shelving; it has to be behind the registers or in a locked case. Probably a stupid marketing reason to make it appear more special than it is. I never cared enough to ask the retailer.

Also wanna try Martell now. My lady likes Henny but it’s way overpriced. I can get a p decent Scotch for the same or a few bucks more.

Nah, it's a high theft item. I worked at the liquor store in BJs and that was the only thing that was routinely stolen.

I worked at a liquor store a long time ago and we had to do this with Ciroq, Grey Goose, all the big name cognacs and eventually Patron as well

Picked up a bottle of Martell VSOP and pleasantly impressed. It’s really complex and rich, especially once it warms up in the snifter a bit. Thanks to the several goons who recommended it!
