There a number of good Cognacs, each with a different characteristic taste. After experimenting with the younger versions (VS, VSOP) and finding one you like you can then try the older varieties. Most people that enjoy Cognac find that the more aged the more complex, smooth and interesting the taste. The cost goes up as the Cognac gets older. Several popular brands to consider are Courvoisier, Hennessy, Hine and Remy Martin.

If you haven't tasted cognac before, I'd suggest trying different ways, chilled, mixed, neat, warm, room temp.

It is meant to be sipped at room temperature in a large round-bottomed glass (snifter), however any large water glass with a stem will do fine.

As you take a small sip, allow the cognac to roll over your tongue and seep into every portion of your pallet.

The nice thing about Cognac is how standard the quality is. Just look for anything with XO on it and you will be dammed sure it is good. As for the best, well its up to individual tastes. My advice is, buy several and try them all :)
