Strangely, I've always liked VS better than VSOP. I was lucky enough to had an XO bottle 2 times, that one is definitely in another league

6:28 AYYOOOO

Call me crazy, im no snob im actually only 20 ((in the USA (unfortunately)) I’ve actually only had a couple bottles of the 50 years of hip hop edition Hennessy and a bottle of regular Courvoisier VS. but I like mixing cognac with Dr Pepper. Is that offensive? 😂

Listen bro! It ismy propensity to give you the 411 on Remy Martin Conqac. See I am from the Monerey Peninsula Are of California. A very wealthy area. Now I was a Aficionado of Remy XO. I lik Hennessy, Martel and Courvoisier. However, about 10 years ago a bartender on Cannery Row, an exclusive area of Monterey, gave me info on why Remy Martin XO lost the taste it once had. The bartender explain that the Remy XO was too close to the "taste" of Remmy Louis 13. So the company changed the "mixture" of conqacs used to make the brand. When they did this they cha get the taste of Remy XO to an "upgrade VSOP." A slightly harder "bite" than most XOs. He gave Mr a shot of Dusse VSOP and it was similar to the taste of Remy XO. So I changed and no longer "drink" Remy xo. IT is straight garbage for a XO brand. So today I drink XO Dusse, XOHennessy, XO Martel and Xo courvoisier..😊 So if u are a Remy rep, you need to inform them they lost a valuable customer because of this. Peace!

Hard to get martell in the uk? Most shops in my area of glasgow stock it

Man you talk too much

The flyer says "calvados". Not even mentioned in the video. Won't bother watching any others.

Did he say if he could afford it? Aren't they like all sub 200 pounds. I don't think that's insane for the quality.

You should cut this video in half. You are too wordy. Get to the point quicker.

I can get the vsop for £10 a litre...and the xo for £13.99 a litre

So they’re a wine and not a spirit?

People give Hennessy a lot of shit for being such a brand name and granted but the XO is fantastic. I've also tried the Remy and while it was good if you didn't tell me what it was I would not guess it was an XO that was more expensive than Hennessy.

Funny part my fav is from the other side 😃 this is normal when your new to cognacs people tend to take the smoother ones with less taste and smoother tastes.

had them all martell is best xo remy best vsop hennessey best vs

In US/Nevada State, Las Vegas St. Remy xo is $24.99 and St. Remy signature is $30.99 in almost any liquor store. St. Remy's signature is above the XO and it is good 👍

I think that the Jaime I us pronounced ha-may. It's funny because I would call the Colombians footballer James for years then heard him called Hames when he pkayed fir Everton.

Great content, thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👏👏👏

Try Shay By Le portier, A Bit Pricey For A New Brand But For A VSOP It's Top Notch

Nice review and advice. Question: what glasses are you using? Thanks.

I used to really enjoy Remy Martin XO before I started drinking cask strength whisky. Now I find that it doesn't really taste of much and the finish doesn't last all that long. Bottling at 40% seems like a waste to me.

Courvoisier, Martell, Hennessy and finally Remy Martin.

фуфло и звездёж, не стоит он и полцены своей!!!

How could Hennessy xo cheaper than remy martin xo? Around the globe Hennessy xo is always pricer than remy martin.

Just got a bottle of st remy xo for $20 bucks. Found it a bit mild compare to other fancy XO congic. It is like a hennessy vsop with water added.

Martell XO is the best sorry

I've been watching your rum content for a while now. I am primarily a whiskey drinker, but I have started exploring other spirits, and my next stop is brandy. I was very pleasantly surprised to see you recently started a brandy channel! I look forward to seeing what content you produce and learning about this interesting spirit category.

There's also a California brandy made by a guy who had a cognac still moved to Cali, he's from a French cognac family. Germain Robin. You might want to try and review that as well. It was purchased by E&J Gallo in 2017 but it's not a Gallo brandy per se. Cheers.

Please Review asbach German brandy. Also do Armenian brandies. Thanks.

I looked this up so I could cook a Dianne sauce, but I'm too drunk to cook now, and an Uber pizza seems like the best option, or just pass out on the lounge

I like to get pissed on St Remy XO and also ALDI's own Cognac, usually available for the same price of £20. Both good sippers for the money so much so that i've given up my expensive Scotch habit.

At 70 years old, I have been a Courvoisier fan since childhood. When we suffered from colds or flu as children, my parents would prepare for us a small pour of Courvoisier in a small snifter, make us sit in front of a warm fireplace, and tell us to breath deeply from the snifter, and sip slowly. To this day, VS is my go to Cognac, even though I keep VSOP and XO on hand, I buy VS by the case. I drink it neat. I just prefer the younger Cognac, perhaps because I was introduced to it at a young age. Very good video, informative content. Well done.

Tiramasu: .75oz Cognac 1oz coffee liqueur .5oz Dark Creme De Cacao 1oz heavy Cream heaping bar spoon Mascarpone cheese 1 Yolk dust Chocolate powder Give that a try, I make it every year for Christmas Yes it's just an Alexander riff I know haha

Dude I can hear you swallow when you’re just talking, not even drinking. Fix that shit.

I've tried to drink Cognac VSOP. I there a difference between the XO and the VSOP with regards to the brittleness of it or the alcohol being noticeable. For example I'll drink cask strength Bourbon no problem, you don't get any alcohol or ethanol just a warming heat. Something like Vodka for example is for me pure ethanol. I ask because I found the VSOP to have some of that ethanol, and have not wanted to spend the money on XO due to it.

CWASSONT

How would you separate Martell & Covoursier ?same price in the Tesco atm 👍🏻 don’t know what one to go with

I worked at highend cocktail bar in Chicago many years ago and participated in brandy and port tasting and fell in love. I agree that is distinctive as compared to other spirts within range of price. Its definetley worth the price to upgrade- it really is another world.

Pisco is liquor original from Peru only 🇵🇪 if you buy from other country definitely is a fake Pisco.

Jenny always the best

I actually cannot stand grain spirits. So whiskey and bourbon smells and tastes rather unpleasant to me, but I really love brandy and other fruit distilates. Haven't tried calvados yet, but it's definitely on my list. Just ordered Torres Jaime I 30 year, will see is it any good.

What no Hine Antique XO philistine.

I just got a bottle of Berneroy Fine. Very nice. Also, try Pommeau de Normandie, a variation of Calvados.

I tried both, Remy is far better...

Love the cognac videos, and love the blind tasting videos. Would like to see you do a few more comparison videos of related cognacs and brandys. For example, comparing Remy Martin VSOP and Remy Martin 1738. Or comparing VSOP from some other popular houses like Hine to your top picks from the VSOP video (Martell and Remy). Another fun comparison video would be comparing your top picks from the VSOP video to the cheap XO's like Cognac Park or Kirkland (not sure you can get that in UK). And then in the future when you feel like you have a good handle on cognacs, would love to get some cognac and armangac comparisons. In general I find the comparisons give a really good reference point as a viewer, so if you're reviewing an armeniac or a smaller cognac house, it's helpful to directly compare it to something from the big houses.

They are the most adulterated and emptied of all, but if you make cocktails nobody notices especially if the only interest is to drink a historic brand

Very interesting! As a Cognac enthusiast and have been drinking all these 4 brand for the past 40 years, my favorite is opposite from you. My #1 is Hennessey X0, then Martel XO, Remy Martin XO and Courvoirsier XO. I guess it all down to personal preference. Cheers!

1st drink Is Beer. 2nd Drink Brandy De Jerez. 3rd Rum. 4th Gin. 5th Scotch whisky

Thanks for your review, Courvoisier on my family is the most renowned, Hennessy came second and Martell third, but to me Martell was the best, but the best I have tasted in my life was a Courvoisier Napoleon Champagne bottle that I could never find again , I purchased it for my second son to be opened when he became 18 years old.... superb!! better than the one I had as Remy Martin XO on my first born child when he became 18 years of age.

Thank god for closed-caption with that accent i need it or i will miss what ur saying- slowdown!!
