great cognacs

JjasonL · Feb 7, 2015

ive been drinking a lot of cognac and brandy these days, and just wondering what to buy next. i have all the big brands like martel, remi, henny and just got a couple of bottles of pierre ferrand which are pretty great. any suggestions for some good bottles that are under $200. thanks

Jean Grosperrin makes excellent cognac. You will be able to find some vintages under $200. I have had some Grosperrin as old as 1923 but even the newer vintages are amazing.

I have a teeny tiny bit left of this 1967...turned into a gross syrupy liquid...probably should toss it.

Tesseron, I've had the full range 90, 76, 53, and 29. The 29 is awesome and can be had for $400~, I didn't find the 53 to be so much better than the 76 but did like the 76 much better than the 90.

The 76 is a fantastic cognac for the $120~ it goes for.

+1 probably the best value on US Cognac market.

The G-R XO is probably my favorite blend, but since you have had most of the blends its high time you start trying single district Cognac; Ferrand andTessaron are great. I enjoy Godet.

I like Delamin XO Pale and Dry.

The 29 goes for over $650 at my liquor store. $400~ is a steal.

My local wegnans gets it in and prices it cheaply.

I've not been in that many Wegmans' since they are not very close to me (some upstate NY thing, right?) but it was an awesome grocery store. I absolutely loved it -- like Whole Paycheck but without the cost and the pretense. But I've never been in one with a liquor store. That sounds awesome.

I actually prefer whole foods, but mostly because my local wegmans is always insanely busy. Canals and wegmans are great here, there must be some real whisky and brandy snobs buying for both here.

They are in Jersey and MA as well.
