"Drink less, but better, booze." -- I approve this plan. If you're serious about drinking better stuff and like cognac, then I recommend giving Remy Martin XO a try. It's a bargain for what you get, but if the price is still a bit high (or if you're unsure if you'd like cognacs) then try the Remy Martin VSOP first. ^^
Enjoying a cigar and cognac is one of my guilty pleasures. /^|..|^\ Currently enjoying the Hennessy XO, but yours is the second vote for the Rémy XO, so I may try that next!
As for scotch, I finished a bottle of Johnnie blue; it was interesting but not quite what I'm after. Just started a bottle of 25-year Glenlivet that is dangerously good. O_o
A very guilty pleasure indeed - modulating all of those neural receptors. ;-)
Definitely try the Remy XO; I've not found a better cognac since save the Louis XIII. GLenlivet 25 y/o is definitely choice, though I have much less experience with scotch than I do cognac or (especially) rum. How's the Johnnie? I've never had that before of any sort.
The Johnnie's a little rougher than I like, though there is a lot going on under the surface. It's a blend, but a good blend, and there's a lot of subtle flavors there. But it's also a little rough around the edges, just a shade too harsh for me. I like my scotch neat, and if I can't take it that way, it's not the scotch for me. I had to ice the Johnnie to take it down just a notch
