Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a brandy produced in the region surrounding the town. It must be made from at least 90% Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, or Colombard grapes. The rest of the cognac can consist of ten selected grapes. However, most cognac is made from Ugni Blanc only. It must be distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged at least 2 years in French oak barrels in order to be called cognac. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognac_(drink)

Farting around the internet when I should be studying. Post cognac pictures, please!
And as for expensive cognac, Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac is the wildly expensive variety, costing around $1800 a bottle. No booze is worth that much, in my book.
I prefer the Remy Martin VSOP at around $40 a bottle. VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale), or Réserve, where the youngest brandy is stored at least four years in cask.
Compared to the more expensive XO (Extra Old), Napoléon, Hors d'Age, where the youngest brandy is stored at least six years in cask.

Fuck Cognac...
Be a real man and drink Scotch.

There's no reason to respect the french, nor thier pansy ass attempts at making 'real' alcohol. Let em stick to thier grape juice.

It's not real whiskey unless it's irish whsikey, with a 'ey' at the end, you stupid git. All you scots are good at is making IRN BRU. Even canucks make better booze than you, and Crown Royal isn't even that great.

Hello,

Does anyone really like this stuff, maybe for meals but otherwise??? Oh, I learned today that if you don't bag your yard clippings it may be better for your lawn. Does anyone raise scotch highland cattle?

First, its not a real bourbon unless its made in Bourbon County, Kentucky (or at least in parts there about; in my opinion), so JD should not even be classified as such (it's straight Tennessee whiskey). Second, back in the '60's the Americans passed some silly law (foreshadowing the French and their champagne vs sparkling wine fit)declaring bourbon the official distilled spirit of the US. What's up with you Brits calling your local stock bourbon? Stick with your smooth (and tasty) Scotch, and leave the bourbon to us Yankees.

Oh, and Jim Beam is an actual bourbon, and it is better than JD. Again, in my opinion.

What you call anything doesn't mean shit, asshole. GB2 eating cold, stale toast and rancid breakfast meats.

Bourbon is
1. The product of a specific distilling process.

Likewise, what you call anything doesn't mean anything, shithead. But there again, you're an american so you probably don't understand that. FYI most brits I know don't call american whiskey 'bourbon' anyway, they tend to call it by it's makers name i.e. JD or Jim Beam.
I agree with>>173361
Jim Beam is definitely better than JD (JD is only ok to use with a mixer, but I'd drink Jim Beam straight).
