What it is
The world's most celebrated brandy, double-distilled from the wines of one small French town and aged in oak until it turns to amber silk. Ingredients: grapes — mainly Ugni Blanc — grown in the delimited Cognac region, fermented into a light, acidic wine. Method: 1) Distill the wine twice in copper Charentais pot stills, keeping only the heart of the second distillation. 2) Age in Limousin and Tronçais oak — VS at least two years, VSOP at least four, XO at least ten. 3) Blend eaux-de-vie of many ages and serve neat in a tulip glass, cradled so the hand warms it gently. The experience: dried apricot, fig, vanilla, rancio nuttiness and an endless finish. History: Dutch traders began distilling the region's wines in the 1600s so they would survive the sea voyage; the AOC of 1936 locked the name to this one place on Earth.
