What is Cognac? Cognac is a type of brandy that hails from the Cognac region in France. It's crafted by distilling specific grape varieties, including Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Folle Blanche, into a clear spirit. This spirit is then aged in oak barrels, acquiring a distinct flavour profile that's unique to Cognac. The soil, climate, and aging process in this region contribute to its unique taste and quality.
Classification of Cognac Cognac is categorized based on age and quality, with designations like VS (Very Special), VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale), and XO (Extra Old). The age of a Cognac is determined by the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend. VS Cognacs are aged for at least two years, VSOP for four years, and XO Cognacs for a minimum of ten years.
