Cointreau vs. Combier

What bizarre battle is this? I'm not sure myself. Let's see . . . Here's Cointreu. Here's Combier . . .


Cointreau, 40% ABV:

Super rindy grapefruit citrus in the nose. Intense sweetness assaults the palate, and is immediately followed with intense alcohol burn.


Combier, 40% ABV:

Delicate orange-citrus meshed nicely with underlying neutral spirits. Mouthfeel is full. Citrus and cane sugar sweetness upfront that leads way to a nice, balanced, lengthy finish-Soft.


Why are we talking about this?

The question was posed to me earlier this day: Which do I like better? Cointreau or Combier?


. . . I like the Combier.
