Cognac is a specific type of brandy produced from distilled white wine. It must be distilled twice, using copper pot stills, and aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of two years. … It cannot begin until after the grape harvest and the wine production which ensues.
Eye: Its golden color with hints of amber heralds its complexity.
Nose: Delicious toasty oak notes (Bourbon vanilla, toasted bread) that stand out against a delightful peppery gourmet base of pear, grape and light honey.
Palate: Silky tannins come through in the attack, followed by notes of pastry and jammy fruit (marmalade, ripe apricot), pear, butterscotch and a subtle spiced finish.

Enjoy with a splash of spring water, either slightly chilled or with a large ice cube. In a cocktail, it would go perfectly with ginger beer or tonic.
