I did read up on the region and quality differences, but I trust you guys will have some great recommendations.
Never by less than VSOP IMHO. Remy Martin VSOP is easy to find, good, and about $40. It is aged 4 years. If you can find it Hine rare VSOP is better, also aged 4 years and $40. Hine rare and delicate is the same bottle. My suggestion is to search out Pierre Ferrand Amber or Reserve, these are a large set up in quality. Ambre is aged 10 years, again around $40, quite complex. Reserve is aged 20 years though not listed as such. Expect to pay between $40 and $70. Very complex with a depth the Amber does not quite have.
It is not as integrated, it is harsher in that it has an alcoholic burn to it, personally not my style.

I haven't had it, but a friend was drinking it at the Vets Hall a couple of nights ago. Don't know which one. I think he paid something like $20 for a bottle.

Remy VSOP is a smoother, more ethereal cognac. Courvoisier is the choice of "The Ladies Man".
Now he's gone and made himself a Pariah.

how's the hoof doing, bro?
I would rather pay for something I like than 3 bottles of something I'd have to gag down. X
Pariah is a socially outcasted fish....right?#-o
