Brandy on a budget

[Bucko]

Remy Martin is on par for sure. I like Hine better than either of these. Harder to find, but the best of the lot for VSOPs is Marquis de Gensac Grande Champagne (IMO), and a steal at $23.

We mainly drink XO nowadays, but it is pricy. Courvoisier and Remy Martin lead the pack for my palate, although Marquis de Gensac Grande Champagne XO is pretty affordable for an XO at sixty bucks (Sam's has it for $57).
