Thank you, Dr. Lee! I feel classier and more distinguished with each video.

[jeikobu]

Great videos honestly. As someone who has no idea how to properly do these things. I find these videos really helpful

[ianmclaughlin]

Dr. Lee,
I really enjoy your videos. Your content is helping me to become a better gentleman. I’m going to be attending a formal gathering this weekend in honor of my Grandmother’s 80th Birthday. I’ll be bringing flowers, and a decent bottle of Bordeaux. Are there any other tips you would like to share to contribute to making this a wonderful event?

[Jay_Fry]

I don't know how knowledgeable you are on the subject but it's clearly you are passionate.

I love cognac especially the Hennessy Xo but I am in the middle of drinking bourbon from a brandy snifter and I tried your tasting method and I must say WOW.

[umami]

I personally use glencarins to taste cognac. I understand the chewing to get more flavor notes. I don't buy expensive cognac I use it mostly to blend with rye whiskey. And its a great blender.

I don’t think I’ve ever tried cognac, …I just might have to now that I’ve seen this Vlog 👍🏻

Dr. Lee I am enjoying a wonderful Brandy with an excellent cigar at the moment thank you for your helpful advice and tips Sir.

[nikospap]

First a puff of the cigar and the sip of cognac following or the other way around? Thank you

[johanyssel]

Excellent presentation. Well presented.

Vs is for Food, Vsop is for drinks and xo and above is for drinking, but remember... an xo is not just and xo. A cheap xo is normaly very young, a mor expensice is much older. So ask the age. An xo should be about 15-25 year if its a good xo.

[ryangiffin]

Learned a lot from this one, I love these videos

[kateous]

Thanks for the content, quite informative Dr Clinton Lee. Could you please do the Whiskey one as well.

[tcwarnaar]

I'm going to be making that hu-hum sound each sip from now on😂

[MrMothiram]

Can you tell me one thing?
Is drinking cognac neat good for health considerations?
Is it better with water?
With hot water?
With plain soda? Or soft drinks?
With fruit juice?

I understand what you said about the best way of drinking cognac.

But please comment on my queries.

Health, flavor and habit - What matters most?

[tfunktofani]

Is it two people drink hennessy out of the bottle

[williamcornelison]

I have a new bottle of Cognac I went out a bought after tasting Cognac for the first time at my brothers house last week. And I'm 75 years old. I have to admit I was aware of any tasting rules.... Now I have to ger a brandy glass.. Oh Well....

[inspirednj]

Thats what i did when i threw-upz but i didnt want any body to know in highscool. nice

[forlandos]

For the first, the glass is wrong!. Second, Cognac is brandy but brandy is not Cognac. The third, its no rule how you enjoy Cognac!

One of the thing that Cognac is much bettee is becouse of the regulations how they are allowed to make Cognac. Example Cognac need to be double destilated. Brandy has no rules and regulations.

[SD-itko]

Rule no 1: enjoy!
Rule no 2: forget all the other rules
