Funny that Democrats prefer Cognac but Republicans generally like Scotch, according to the converntion stats.
I'd also prefer Cognac, Remy Martin or Courvoisier, Hennessy is not quite to my liking. I only drink rum with something else, never alone, and rum won't be my first choice either, actually it won't be my 2nd or 3rd choice, I'm more a Gin/Vodka/Tequila person. Unless it's very very fruity (like a very good Sauternes), sweet wines/liqueurs like sherry, port, amaretto, ice wine, etc. tend to turn me off.
