Before we get into the procedure we need to know that “All cognac is brandy but not all brandy is cognac.” Brandy can be made from any fruit from any region but cognac is made only from grapes from the Cognac region in France.
There are several ways to drink cognac, personally I prefer to drink it neat at room temperature. Let’s get started with the guide!

As you already know this blog is all things cognac and alcohol. We love to drink a fine cognac each day if possible.
Drinking every day doesn’t necessarily mean getting drunk, when alcohol is consumed in moderation it can help you live longer. It’s not a myth, numerous medical studies have supported the fact that drinking alcohol in moderation can indeed make you healthier and help you cure certain diseases. To stress the fact that drinking is ok but in moderation, we thought we would talk a bit about it.

On the internet we found an interesting video about a short Cognac Masterclass with Deputy Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau of Rémy Martin.
In this video, Baptiste shows how to drink the new Rémy Martin VSOP Matured Cask Finish. Enjoy!

We need something easy yet fun to drink combination with Cognac. These drinks take minimum effort and ingredients. Enjoy!
We prefer using Pierre Ferrand 1840 for these Cognac Cocktails.

Courvoisier just launched a totally new product, called C by Courvoisier!
C by Courvoisier offers an innovative, new option in the cognac category. It’s a intense blend of small-batch-produced cognac specially selected from 50 winegrowers in the Fins Bois Cru and goes through a double-barrel aging process to produce a smooth, full-bodied taste experience.

How do I store a cognac bottle?  In this article we will tell you the answer on this and some more questions!
Cognac does not age once bottled, unlike wine, which ripens further in the bottle, Cognac is an ‘dead-beverage’ because it’s high alcohol content, storing a bottle for 100 years will not make it any older, the contents will remain the same age as they were put in the bottle.

Last Friday a group of Dutch Cognac enthusiasts were invited at Oldliquors, the company behind the biggest collection exclusive vintage Cognacs. Some cognacs are even dated before 1800!
We had the possibility to taste 10 exclusive Cognacs, an event we will never forget in our life… In this post we will share some pictures of the event. Reviews of the tasted Cognacs will published in the next weeks.
