Cognac, a distinguished French brandy, hails from the Cognac region in southwestern France, crafted from white grapes—primarily Ugni Blanc—and double-distilled in copper pot stills under strict regulations. Aged in oak barrels, it develops a spectrum of flavors, from the fruity freshness of VS to the complex, rancio-rich depth of XO, shaped by six crus like Grande Champagne and Borderies. Revered globally as a symbol of luxury, Cognac is sipped neat from tulip glasses, paired with chocolate or cheese, or mixed into cocktails like the Sidecar. Rooted in centuries of tradition, it blends terroir, craftsmanship, and time into a timeless spirit.
