Hello,

This is the best place I could find to ask a question.

Let me start by saying that I know *nothing* about cognac :-)

I would like to get a bottle of cognac for a friend as a gift.
I have looked at several, and read what I could find, and
have pretty much settled on Remy Martin VSOP.

Have I made a good choice?

Thanks for any advice!

Much depends on what your friend likes. My favorite is Grand Marnier.

But Grand Marnier is not really classified as a Cognac. It is in fact an
Orange flavoured liqueur based on Cognac.

I think that Remy Martin VSOP is a very nice well matured cognac and has
been a long time favourite of mine. There are other which I like better but
to be honest it is very much a matter of personal taste and habit. Your
friend, if he is a cognac drinker will appreciate the Remy Martin. It is the
VSOP bit that is the important part that tells you that you are buying a
well aged cognac. You can buy more expensive ( in general Older cognacs --
i.e. matured in oak barrels for longer) but your friend will not turn his
nose up at the Remy Martin VSOP
