Speaking of cognac
I really like sipping on cognac especially in cold weather so I stooped at the liquor store and picked up a 750ml of Remy Martin and the clerk recommended a bottle of Hardy Noces d'Or. I must say the Hardy is excellent and while it is $50.00 a bottle more it is worth it.
Anyone else experienced the Hardy or have other recommendations other than the normal Hennessey, Martell, etc.?

I'm afraid you are correct Fibber! Oh my God, I'm addicted to fine cognac! :eek:
They are good I will agree but I prefer cognac to sip.
Two parts sweet vermouth and one part brandy over clear ice in a crystal whiskey glass (part of the presentation and ritual).

Thanks, I'm all over those. :thumbup:
"Gateway drugs" don't always lead to the snooty 'Charles Emerson Winchester' overpriced stuff. Alcohol is alcohol. Addicts could end up buried under empty Old Milwaukee cans? Or poisoned by pure grain alcohol.
Cognac is no more "snooty" than single malt scotch or single barrel bourbon or crown royal. And, I don't think I am concerned about being addicted to any alcohol since a bottle of cognac will last all winter and I have 4 beers in the refrigerator than have been there probably 6 months. I gave up heavy drinking probably 10 years ago.
When Hollywood movie cowboys start sauntering up to the bar & demanding cognac, instead of whiskey, it might no longer be "snooty".
On the other hand, cognac that costs $50 more than Remy Martin might always be "snooty"?
Uh, you know cowboys didn't truly straight whiskey very much. Most of the whiskies were home made and "doctored" to make them drinkable. Beer was much more drinkable.
BTW, It was a joke about addiction. Buy a sense of humor for God's sake.
Snooty? How was your PBR at Sonny's tonight? :grin
The crap they used to serve out in the West in the early days would almost kill you, and some of it did.

Yes, I believe he argues with himself.
Movie cowboys never drank cognac & almost always asked for whiskey, w/o regard to brand, quality, or price. They only rarely asked for beer. Charles Emerson Winchester & swells like David Niven drank cognac. If you can't afford to "Buy a sense of humor" rent or borrow one "for God's sake".
Was given a bottle of Irish "single malt whiskey". "I believe" you guys can argue if "Cognac is no more "snooty" than" Bushmills?
Movie cowboys?? :rotflmao I'd bet they drank Cognac. :wink
Real cowboys, as Parkerboy stated, were more beer drinkers than whisky, for the reasons we both stated. But, you can continue to talk in the world of movie cowboys. :idiot
He's all yours, Parker. :grin
