Went to a "fancy" cigar lounge today and bought a $39 glass of Hennessy XO and they poured it into a fucking whiskey tumbler. Not a tulip glass, not even a fucking brandy snifter. A fucking whiskey tumbler meant to hold fucking old fashioneds with a big cube of ice in the middle. I am so fucking pissed right now.

this. nobody gives a shit and nobody but rich snobs and niggers will buy it. you can get stuff that tastes better for way less, so if you unironically drink this shit you're just a big posturing fag.

although that would explain you complaining about what kind of fucking glass it's in. you're the kind of American Psycho retard who criticizes a nun's blowjob after you've already decided to foreclose on the orphanage.

The virgin whiskey is nigh undrinkable without water. Brandy is the smooth and delicious masterrace without anything else needed. You all have whiskey stockholm syndrome because you want to fit into the boy's club. The only appropriate place for whiskey is in cooking, or maybe a splash in your cuppa tea.

I became a whiskyfag because when I was young, my parents had a bourbon liqueur that I liked, and when I became of age I decided to see what the base spirit was like, and just sort of kept trying things.
I really don't get how everyone treats the people who drink it like they're committing some sort of a charade. It's always "You're just trying to look like a man by drinking something that tastes bad and hurts" or "You just want to be seen consuming an expensive status item and base yourself look better than everyone else".

Why can nobody ever assume that people actually just like the stuff?

You guys should try enjoying life with what you have instead of being mad about what other people enjoy. Or you should seriously consider why you are on a cooking board if you like to make fun of cognac. As cognac/brandy have a natural place in any kitchen that aspires to be somewhat decent.

Flambée the slices of foie gras with brandy after searing, will lift it to a whole new level.

Hennessy is garbage cognac not worthy of a snifter. Maybe if it was a single cask Tercinier or a Charpentier but Hennessy is literally all the good cognac houses trash casks as are all the major label cognacs. It's like Irish whiskey where no distilleries are properly showcased it's all rebottled garbage casks and the occasional good one done by accident.

"Not Christian Brothers or Paul Masson".

E&J. The distilling wood is OK, and it's some of the least "pears" flavoring I'm finding.

Hennessy is a more expensive option. The iteration I had was OK but not worth the pricing, especially now that I'm getting into the option of mixed drinks (a little cinnamon / cacao and heavy creamer, etc.)

There are technically stark contrasts between purely pretending and simply being actively unaware of quality.

To some, different alcohols are simply various derivatives of sugar liquids. To others it's obvious that the original materials are of very specific properties.

Impressive. Somehow even more pretentious than namedropping the Emperor's New Clothes, congrats. Have you ever considered how preposterous that shit is, and how it's clearly just a fairy tale you tell yourself to coddle yourself against the harsh reality that taste is subjective? There's all manner of whisky in terms of quality and flavour, just the same as brandy.

I wasn't even most on about flavoring, but physical effects of the alcohol. There are different buzzes, similar to how there are different cannabis highs.

I'm still not convinced that the similar options of whiskey are anywhere near brandy, honestly being analogous to (harsh) corn syrup vs. (a dry, smoothed-up) wine.
