Introduction to Cognac
Course overview
Elegant, refined, fruity, and floral, Cognac is a luxurious spirit with wide appeal. Whether drunk neat in a warmed tasting glass, or in a classic cocktail like the Brandy Crusta, Cognac is a staple for any bar. But what is Cognac exactly?
Cognac is a distilled spirit made from white wine. How it is distilled, aged, and even where it is made is tightly controlled by the Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac (BNIC), a governing body that protects and regulates its production.
To get to know this spirit better, this Introduction to Cognac course gives you foundational knowledge, and covers the following topics:
- Brief history of Cognac
- How Cognac is made and where it's produced
- The grape varietals used to make Cognac and the six Cognac crus
- Cognac age statements
- How to recommend popular Cognac cocktails to guests.
Upon completing this course, we encourage you to taste at least three Cognacs or Cognac cocktails to put your knowledge to work.
