Au Contraire, mon ami!  You are quite wrong in your allegation that
bourbon cannot ever be compared to cognac!!  It has been my
exquisite pleasure to sample 40-year-old House of Glunz (Chicago,
IL vinter and dealer in spirits) special reserve bourbon.  After
one sip, I changed to a large brandy snifter.  If you''re at all
familiar with the fine brandies, it reminded me more of a bas
Armagnac than a pedestrian cognac.

I will certainly grant that the run-of-the-mill bourbon can't
normally compete with even the run-of-the-mill cognacs for
bouquet and complexity; but be aware that this is not because of
any inherent deficiency in the spirit, but rather in the common
taste and preferred usages.

				Time for some Armagnac, now that
				you mention it,
