Remy Martin cognac

[djeseru]

Would anyone know what the ins-and-outs are regarding this stuff? The proper way to open it, serve it, etc. I received a bottle of it today as a going-away gift from my landlord and have no clue about go about emptying it. I'm from a tequila/ Jack Daniels background so this territory is a little new for me.

1. Sip it, straight, though I could be wrong

2. Sip it straight, definitely.

Swirl the snifter around in your hands to warm it...or hold it over a candle.

3. Okay, I can sip.

So nothing like crushed ice, fruit slices or paper umbrellas need to be added...

5. Nope, the idea is to maintain the taste your boss paid a lot for

It's not throw-away stuff like JD and JC Tequila, you're supposed to enjoy the taste not slam it and line up another.

4. Straight from the centaurs' mouth.

6. Oooh, wonderful!

Should be an interesting experience - I guess I'll save this one for the next special occasion. (Although the next birthday isn't so far off...)

Thanks everyone. :)
