Cognac is a type of distilled grape spirit originating from the Cognac region of France. It is known for its smooth, complex, and aromatic flavor, often featuring notes of dried fruit, vanilla, oak, and even soft spices. Years of aging in wooden barrels give Cognac its distinctive depth of flavor.
Crafted to strict standards and a long tradition, Cognac is classified into categories such as VS, VSOP, and XO based on the length of its aging period. Its reputation as an elegant and premium drink makes Cognac popular for neat, on the rocks, and as the base for classic cocktails.
