    I’ve had the Rémy, Henny and Courvoisier. I like them all haha, the Courvoisier and Hennessy are the easiest to finish 😅 I finished the Hennessy with a friend in 3 hours...

    What we need is a price point comparison. Like Kirkland XO vs Hennessey VSOP is a more realistic comparison due to the prices

    Not exactly apples-to-apples Kirkland comparison. The taste profile mellows/changes as it oxidizes over time. Interested in a re-battle when near the end of the Kirkland bottle.

      I don't own Martell XO. I personally tried it and it didn't suit me, so I never bought a bottle. It was too spice forward for me. Some people really enjoy it, but I wouldn't put it on the top of my list.

      Martell XO is hands down the best XO, their process of removing the leaves in the distillation mash does it! I will agree that it is “Spice Forward” but it a remarkable taste for a “Big Four” Cognac . We do know that there can be added sugar, Carmel coloring and Boise’ when dealing with the Big Four.

    Using different glass, pérhaps a sniffer glass might help you get more notes and less alcohol punch

      I always use a snifter, however I only have 2 snifters, so it wouldn't have been fair to compare all with only 2 snifters.

    How would you compare the Kirkland XO Cognac to a Hennessy VSOP which is around the same price point? I've always found the Hennessy to be more bold with upfront dried fruit (raisin, fig, dates) than the Remy which is more refined and subtle but less bold and lacking the character of the Hennessy. I'm going to have to try Courvoisier again, it's been awhile and I don't remember how it compared to Remy or Hennessy I just know that I usually buy Hennessy as my go to cognac.

    • @DarkmanzDecantz
      @DarkmanzDecantz  3 роки тому +3

      IMO the Kirkland XO is much better than either VSOP's. I prefer Hennessy over Remi as far as VSOPs, but you will get more flavor and smoothness from the kirkland XO.

    I've had Hennessy XO Twice and found it Bitter or very Oxidized both times....Remy XO is Nice....The Courvosier XO is Nice...the Kirkland XO was a Letdown and came across more like a Minimum Aged VSOP especially being just $55 and Labeled as an XO
