It’s the finest of fine drinks, the creme de la creme of the top shelf of any bar. If you’re looking for a refined taste, cognac is built on refinement. Cognac is made using only the finest grapes distilled in a process that is more than 300 years old. 3LUXE reviewers have found several “Best Of” cognacs. The perfect drink for occasions when you want to treat yourself, we’ve found one that is quite affordable, the others you’ll probably want to earmark for special occasions only. Unless of course you’re a Rockefeller.
When you’re at home, sitting before a roaring fire, a cognac favored by King George IV might help to keep the chills away. This “Best Of” drink was founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy. In 1817, future English King George IV ordered casks of a “Very Superior Old Pale.” Thus the V.S.O.P. standard was born. Hennessy V.S.O.P. is aged up to 15 years in seasoned French oak. More than 60 ingredients are selected from four areas of the Cognac region to make V.S.O.P. As you would expect from such a c... FULL REVIEW

Paging through aged history books in a dusty back corner of the library, you may happen upon this Napoleonic tidbit: Courvoisier was the official supplier to the Imperial Courts and is known as the Cognac of Napoleon. He took many casks with him into exile. While L'Esprit de Courvoisier is an investment at $6,500 a bottle, this “Best Of” shows it’s worth it. The cognac is presented in hand cut, individually numbered Lalique crystal decanters. It has a rich and complex taste, vibrant though well ... FULL REVIEW

At a price of between $1,450 and $1,500, a bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII is an inspiring drink. And if you love cognac, it’s loyalty that it inspires. This “Best Of” has been made by Remy Martin since the 1700s with grapes grown in the Cognac region that are aged in Limousin oak barrels. Knocking back a few with Bill Gates or having drinks with Donald Trump? Order this gem from Las Vegas -- the $2,000 martini. It starts with chilling 2 ounces of 100-year-old Remy Martin Louis XIII and 1/2 to ... FULL REVIEW

Pierre Ferrand is the finest cognac maker we've encountered....why isn't any of this listed here? We've made it our "taste of the month". Cognac Reviews

We looked at (tasted) Pierre Ferrand, it's a fine cognac, but did not push its way into our "Best Of" Selections. You have another fine choice in March with Remy Martin VSOP, may I suggest Remy Martin Louis XIII.

Your voting systems sucks. I clickd on the "Leave It" thumb hoping to read why anyone would right any bad reviews for Remy Martin Louis XIII and instead I voted against it :(
I can bet I was not the only person who did that. When reading reviews on products, we tend to want to read the comments of others and this "LUXE IT OR LEAVE IT" system was very misleading.
I wish to retract my vote but cant. That is unfair to these products and to us as we now don't know how many of those votes were meant to be as they are.
