About

The King of the Brandies.

It’s loved and was loved by royalty, statesmen, dictators, people with acquired taste… and rappers!

So, what makes Cognac a drink that is worthy of kings?

To be precise they have to be cultivated in a certain area that goes by name Cognac. The wine itself is very acidic, dry and almost undrinkable but as winemakers and farmers discovered many centuries ago, this wine is ideal for distilling and ageing. And ageing is one of the attribute that makes Cognac better and better with each year gone by…

Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a variety of brandy (distilled wine). It is only produced in the wine-growing region surrounding this town. Cognac must be made from specified grapes, must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels. Most cognacs are aged considerably longer than the minimum legal requirement.
