Cognacs: Marquise de Gensac VSOP(sweet fruity, chocolaty)- XO (balsamic and complex) two of my current favs.

Armagnacs: Delord VSOP (grape, wine, candy, great nose) inexpensive and rich in flavor.

Chateau de Laubade, : vanilla, butterscotch and prunes.

Chateau Du Busca, Armagnac Tenareze, 15 years: Slight floral aroma, hints of maple, licorice and earthy notes.

Baron de Lustrac, 1980, Cepage Bacco,: Intense notes of rich, melted butter, caramel, fig and candied orange.

D"Ognoas, Alanbic, 1985, : Smooth, full body, rich notes of dried fruit with a slight spicy aroma. Delicious.

Domaine de Coquillon, Darroze, 1973, : Notes of spice, leather and vanilla with a hint of orange and fig.

Unfortunately not a lot of info/reviews available on Armagnacs, so I just buy them and try them.

Armagnacs from '73 and my posts reek of mothballs? Tut, tut! Seriously though, thank you, as you say, Armagnacs are especially challenging to find good info for. I'll see what I can grab on my next buying spress, which, coincidentally, will be around refund time. ~ Huntsman

Then someone bought me some Woodford Reserve.

Oh bourbon, where have you been all my life?
Holy shit, you're a changed man!

Welcome to the dark side, brother. America's finest awaits you...

Aye, and the problem then becomes finding bars that actually serve Jameson 12 year.

NB for Philly Pholk: Kelliann's, on 15th and Spring Garden, serves Jameson 12 year. At only $5 per serving, this is a deal. For those who like Red Breast, McCrossen's Tavern at 20th and Spring Garden has it ... at $10/drink.

$5 for Jameson 12? I have a feeling I'll be paying a visit.

Yep. They also have Black Bush.

PS Kelliann's is kind of a dive, so hope you don't mind those types of bars. When you hit the men's room, you'll see what I mean.

I have no problem with dive bars. None at all.

Jim Bean and JD are my go to poisons but I have been nursing a bottle of Woodford Reserve that has been exceptionally smooth. Any fans of WR?
