OK, at the risk of sounding like a lush, I consider myself an expert 
on liqueurs and spirits.  :) 

For my resume, check out the winerack/liquor shelf that I built this
winter:

The absolute *best* liqueur I've ever tasted is a fairly new one called
naVan.  It's the first new liqueur produced by the House of Grand Marnier
in 150 years and is made by macerating Madagascar vanilla beans in 
cognac.  

It's not overly sweet and the finish keeps getting better and better with
time.  After ten seconds or so you're left with a wonderful flavor as if
you had been chewing on a vanilla bean.

It runs between $37 to $46/bottle, so it's not prohibitively expensive. 
If you get a chance, try it!
