I tried the greatest Cognac ever the other day.

[BonyAcaiNogueiraBrothers]

I stopped by Total Wine to get some cheap mixers and saw this Braastad VS for $22. I was kinda surprised because their line of Cognacs was very extensive, and yet I'd never heard of them. I'd tried every other Cognac brand I know of that's readily available in Tennessee so I figured I'd put back my regular A de Fussigny and give this a sample instead. At the end of the day I got it as a cheap mixer so it wasn't gonna kill me if it was trash.

Anyways yeah...this is this smoothest, sweetest, and fruitiest Cognac I've ever had of any age. They worked some magic on this stuff.

Was going to order more but they're out of stock online now. Actually it's been completely removed from their website unless you use a direct link. I'm praying it's just temporary and it's not getting discontinued or something because I'm absolutely in love with this stuff.

If you're a brandy drinker, you have to try it. If you're a whiskey drinker that's into something like Angel's Envy for example, I believe it worth at least looking out for.

Good looking out, you've sold me on trying it out. I tend to go with Bulleit bourbon, ever tried it?

Really hope you enjoy it, and I absolutely love Bulleit! I recommend it to everyone that's just getting into bourbon.

I've had louis xiii cognac, but I was barely an adult when it was my parents 25 wedding anniversary. Would have love to try it now that my taste is more seasoned.

For sure. These go from just being something to get drunk off of to basically works of art. It really is amazing what a master distiller can accomplish.

This was my go to for awhile but it seems like they changed the formula or something because last couple times I got it, it was gross. I go for buffalo trace now. I don't drink much/often anymore but a customer recommended Glenlivet 18 and I like it. Old guy customer told me "you just take a very small sip and work it around, play with it and savor the taste"

Can't go wrong with buffalo trace. One year on my birthday my buddy got me a bottle of red breast and we drank it all in a couple rounds of shots lol

Whats up with angels envy?

Honestly haven’t tried it. Apparently it’s pretty good stuff though so I’ll keep an eye out for it

It’s a really good bourbon in my opinion. I guess it depends on what you’re into but it’s pretty fruity compared to most other whiskey I’ve had. I think it bridges the gap between whiskey and brandy quite well.

Has anyone tried Armagnac? I closed a huge deal at work and the client gave me a bottl of Bhakta, supposedly the best on the planet. I have not tried it yet.

I enjoy Armagnac. They allow for a great variety of grapes to be used in it than Cognac though, so there’s much more room for variation. I’ve had Bhakta but only their more entry level stuff. If he gave you a bottle of 63, that’s pretty amazing. Let us know how it is.

Just picked up some Johnnie Walker High Rye. Not sure what to think of it. I like rye whisky pretty okay. It's not my favorite but I enjoy it. This is definitely not rye whisky though. It's like Johnnie Walker Black but with a hint of rye whisky towards the end. I really like it but not sure if I'd ever pick it up over Black Label again.

I would recommend it, it’s super cheap in the Philippines not sure the cost abroad though.

I just want to say that Angel's Envy is the shit

Are you sure that's not just juice you're drinking bro?
