Pairing cognac with food or making it into cocktails is just a marketing campaign to boost the sale in the modern era and selling it to the young generation, which is fine, but trust me this beverage is best enjoy neat, so you can appreciate the full profile of its aroma.

[@MrDariomag327]

@@WilsOfPraonto Pour it into a glass, then hold the glass for like 5 min to warm the cognac with your hand and then it will release all the aroma, then you sip just a bit. That is the best way to enjoy cognac.

[@alexk3088]

That's the only way I drink as I just don't like cocktails, but if someone likes cocktails, that's what VS and VSOP are for. Why not? Historically mixing cognac is just as traditional as neat. Just like whisky. Of course every producer wants to maximize their sales, that's why mixology and cocktails were invented. Well, and also to mask inferior liquor with citrus 😎

[@WittyDroog]

Well a Brandy Alexander is a fairly old cocktail, and while craft cocktails have made a resurgence it's not like cognac makers are doing the same pitches as Campari does. I think the guy in the guy in the video says it best when he says there's really no bad way to enjoy a good cognac. Personally I like drinking it neat but I also like it as a premium ingredient in something mixed, and to be clear a well thought out cocktail not just an expensive Long Island Iced Tea

I just ordered two bottles of Braastad Cognac VS, and a bottle of Davidoff Cognac VSOP today. Normally I wouldn't use a Cognac as a drink mixer. I prefer mine neat in a bulb glass and with a nice cigar or some dark chocolate from Belgium or Switzerland. One of the best I've ever tasted was the Hennesy Paradis Imperial. Very smooth and with a pleasant and long aftertaste. Perfect with a Cuban cigar.

As a big fan of good cognac and brandy I find many similarities between good cognac and good bourbon - they are made in similar processes from completely different ingredients and mash but are distilled and aged in much the same way - much like two different sides if the same coin.

[@alexk3088]

Almost. Bourbon is made in charred barrels (charcoal on the inside), cognac is made in toasted barrels made from different species of oak. They are both similar and very different. Love both :-) also many bourbons are column distilled, while cognac is always double pot stilled.

My initial thought after trying cognac for the first time after years of drinking whiskies almost exclusively, kinda felt like a mixture of high-rye Bourbon and Speyside Scotch on the nose.

I drink it either with a big fat Ice cube that fills almost the whole glass or served hot, pre heating the glass with hot water, then putting a bit cognac inside and spreding it all around and igniting it. after that the glass is nice and hot, then i put the cognac in. The flavor comes out 10 times more! you smell on it and a cognac vapor fills your nose and you can smell much more aromas.

Gentlemen, cognac (brandy in general) should ALWAYS be served in HOT glasses, large body but narrow open. The warm alcohol will evaporate with all aromas and can be smelled, enjoying all qualities of this special drink. By the way, I recommend you to try an Romanian burned wine (vinars) called JAD. Is not cheap but it worth all his price, the price/quality ratio beats easily many cognac celebrity brands.
