Decent Cognac — not life-changing but solid

Tried this Cognac on recommendation and it's a solid choice without being exceptional. Served with a splash of water as suggested. The finish is present but not as pronounced as in more premium examples.

For regular drinking it's good value. For a special occasion I'd go a step up. It's the kind of Cognac you'd be happy to find at a bar but wouldn't specifically seek out to buy a bottle. Three and a half stars rounded to four.
