How do you drink Cognac
In general, one should appreciate a glass of cognac, because it really is one of the most complex spirits in the world.
Straight or mixed, and the choice of cognac
he question of how to drink cognac properly really comes down to personal preference. There are so many differing views on the subject that it’s wise to experiment, and then go with what you like best.However, we’ve listed a few things to consider below, to help guide you in the right direction when establishing exactly what your style of cognac consumption is.
Okay, so the first thing to think about is the kind of cognac you’re drinking. Is it a younger VS, a VSOP or an old blend – such as an XO – or even a vintage cognac? Is it a sweeter tasting cognac that might be well suited to accompany a dessert, or even be part of the dessert itself? Or has the blend been specifically produced to be a component of a cocktail, or perhaps an aperitif?
If you’re not brand conscious, then our advice would be to try to find a cognac from a smaller, lesser-known estate. If the brand name is important to you, then it’s likely that you’ll be looking at a cognac from one of the ‘Big 4’ (Hennessy, Martell, Remy Martin, or Courvoisier).
If you are treating yourself to an older cognac, XO Cognac or above, then we definitely recommend sipping it neat and savoring it. Enjoying a cognac straight is the best way to appreciate all the nuances of its aromas and flavors, something that can only be truly achieved without diluting or combining it.
However, sometimes you’re in the mood or the occasion suits for cognac mixed drinks. So we’ve compiled a few recommendations of what to mix with cognac and we suggest using a VS Cognac or VSOP Cognac for these mixes:
