Well, Cognac Is The Type Of Brandy That It Is, Sig

Well, Cognac is the type of brandy that it is, signifying its geographical source, in the same way that Armagnac is a brandy from further south and Janneau is one brand of Armagnac like Courvoisier and Martell are brands of Cognac. So: generic - brandy, source - Cognac, brand or make - Courvoisier.

Courvoisier, to my palate is sweeter, hence tastes "fuller" but I prefer the relatively dryer Martell. But try Remy Martin or Hine: they are both elegant (and sometimes more pricey) alternatives.

And Armagnac has a touch of prune and smoke to it, made in a slightly different way and from different grapes, soil and climate. Experiment!

Courvoisier V.s. Isn't A Brandy, It's A Cognac! It

Courvoisier V.S. isn't a brandy, it's a cognac! It's in the same fortified wine class as brandy, but it is fortified longer turning it to a cognac.

I Am Usually Torn Between Courvoisier And Martell

I am usually torn between Courvoisier and Martell as although different they are both good Brandy's and usually priced very similar too.

My choice depends on my mood.

If I am feeling a little more extravagant I buy Courvoisier.

This probably reflects the difference in flavour too.

Courvoisier in my opinion (bearing in mind I am no expert) has a richer more powerful flavour, where as Martell is classy and smooth.

If you enjoy a nice glass of brandy, warmed over a cup of hot water, I think that you would be happy with either, though bear in mind they will not blow you away, they are just quite simply good, enjoyable Brandy's.

Plural of brandy is "brandies". Brandy's is the genitive case, denoting "belonging to" as in "the brandy's flavour".
