Christmas is an very busy period for everyone in the cognac-industry. Distillation is now at its peak and there are more than 4.000 producers who will be distilling to ensure that they get the very best from their grapes.
Much depends on their skills and years of experience. Every distillation will be different, since there are so many factors that can influence the quality of their eau de vie. Christmas dinner at a distiller will include regular checking of the stills.

We found the nice website of Siri (not from the Iphone) with some Cognac labels of forgotten Christmas Cognacs, we couldn’t resist to place those beautiful labels on our blog.
Interesting fact is that most Christmas Cognacs got a higher alcohol-percentage of 42%. Who know the reason of this for Christmas Cognacs?

Grönstedts launched their annual Christmas Cognac, in Sweden called julcognac. It is the sixth consecutive year that Grönstedts makes a special blend for Christmas.
A blend of cognacs with an average age of 30 years mainly from the Grand Champagne and Petit Champagne districts.
