Nothing personal, but they are the two brands I would NEVER recommend. Courvoisier is nothing but a oak extract, rough and one dimensional. Martell, only in its XO guise, could be enjoyable and still, too much oak and color addition for me.

Remy is the only big house I can ever tolerate, less oak and more fruit definition. But its like saying bundle cigars are great, its still am industrial size production.

Small houses are the way to go, until you try some you will never know what Cognac truly is.

After becoming involved with this thread I went through my stash of hidden bottles of libations that I have had for at least 15 years and I came across a bottle of St-Remy French Napoleon Brandy V.S.O.P., Is it a decent brandy?

I also found a bottle of Courvoisier "Le Cognac de Napoleon" V.S. from Jarnac France. What about this one, is it a decent Cognac?
