It's a shame that people like to use high end spirits to give themselves what they think is class, like Courvoisier, which, as others have pointed out, is a type of cognac. Most of them couldn't tell if they were drinking it in the first place and I understand it is fashionable to mix with coca-cola. What a waste!
Tom Cruise made a movie called Cocktail, about a really high end cognac, Remy Martin's Louis XIII which is about $1700 per bottle retail now. It's not even the most expensive but the bottle itself is a work of art. Is it the best? I suggest it's all a matter of taste and how much your pocket allows. Armagnacs, however are an interesting option, as is Calvados.
At a local posh hotel, around prom time, we always get some young kid with Daddy's credit card who comes in with his entourage and orders "the most expensive shot in the house."
When he picks up the bill after swilling the "Louis Tres", as it is regrettably called in the parlance, the look of shock is just poetic. I keep reminding the bartender to get pictures.

Please pass the Courvoisier (kur-vwa-syay)
Courvoisier is a type of cognac. Courvoisier is famous for being the favorite drink of Napoleon who is rumoured to have ensured that several barrels be sent with him to Saint Helena and Elba during his exile and banishment. The first company to produce Courvoisier was established by Felix Courvoisier in 1835.
Busta Rhyme wrote the song Pass the Courvoisier as his way to telling the world of his preference.
