This is for the esato acloholics (just kidding!  )
WEll, many who read this thread will have no clue what i am talking about, but for those who know exactly what the title of the thread means, is it worth it?
I got some major hookups right now and i was considering getting a bottle of good armagnac (got the cognac, henessey vsop btw)and i'll be one step closer to an excellent collection of, well you know
So, is it worth it? from 0-10 would anyone mind rating it?

or am i getting my after-dinner drinks confused 
thanks, its good to see a fellow 'connoisseur' on esato

It's connaisseur  and if I remember right it's more caramel but a quick search on google for an "official" armagnac site gave me this:
- fruity aromas: here you'll find nuances of quince, grape and plum, and then with age, prune, orange or apricot conserve
- floral aromas: vine blossom, honey or lime...
- woody aromas: vanilla, spicy, grilled ... maderization: this is the measure of the Armagnac's maturity, it reveals most notably dry
- fruit aromas: walnuts and hazelnut.
So I guess it really depends of the person

That's pretty cool: do you have any other recommendations on something perhaps better? (i can spend about the same amount on anything)
