Now as for a blind taste test, we did just that (unofficially) and I was completely off. Courvoisier does have a formal position on the flaws of blind taste tests--sadly I can't remember what it was. Also, when asked who they thought their chief rival was, they mentioned not Remy, but rather Hennessy. (I do hope, however, to try the Louis XIII one day.)Victorino Matushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718422472133022986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1121376328643262202005-07-14T16:25:00.000-05:002005-07-14T16:25:00.000-05:00Do you think that in a blind taste test you could ...Do you think that in a blind taste test you could tell VS from VSOP?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1121360570176627502005-07-14T12:02:00.000-05:002005-07-14T12:02:00.000-05:00You're leaving out the Ladies Man.You're leaving out the Ladies Man.Paul Hoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810583968278593492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1121358232271253222005-07-14T11:23:00.000-05:002005-07-14T11:23:00.000-05:00When I was a bartender at a college bar in New Or...When I was a bartender at a college bar in New Orleans in the mid 1980's, bus drivers from the city transit would come in after work and order courvoisier and cherry coke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1121358093343299892005-07-14T11:21:00.000-05:002005-07-14T11:21:00.000-05:00Courvoisier is good, but you need to try Remy Mart...Courvoisier is good, but you need to try Remy Martin's Louis XIII. At $1,500, it's cheaper than the L'Esprit, and it's not a limited edition. Winston Churchill celebrated his election victories with Louis XIII. <BR/><BR/>As a former bartender (for 10 years), I claim that it's probably the best tasting acoholic beverage I've come across.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
