The History of Brandy
Brandy differs from cognac by being a broader category of the drink. While Cognac comes from a particular region of France, brandy includes distilled fruit from a wider range of options. Most often distilled from grapes, brandy can also be distilled from apples, cherries, or raspberries. Made and enjoyed in several countries, brandy has many popular names: ouzo (Greece), Pisco (Peru), armagnac (Southwest France) and grappa (Italy and California), among others.
The History of Cognac
Cognac stands in a class of its own, with a slightly higher alcohol content and smaller region of origin than brandy. The best cognac brands have a history dating back to Roman emperor Probus, who graciously allowed the ancient Gauls to own vineyards. Later, as Dutch explorers extended their travels, they experimented with double distillation and celebrated the cheaper transport of Cognac over wine. Cognac is now available in over 150 countries and enjoyed recreationally around the globe. This exclusive subtype of brandy is a gem in any collection.
