They would call for a few other liquor options before Hennessy. The health benefits of cognac reach beyond the heart though. Cognac can help reduce risk for Type 2 diabetes and gallstones, as long as you consume only moderate amounts. We keep saying moderate amounts, but what does that mean? By Tony Sachs.

Once sipped, a vivacious sensory experience ensues, in that the notes crackling with a different personality at the lips, on the tongue, and at the back of your throat.
Notes resembling cigars or walnuts, and figs lead into a mildly spiced flavour of ginger and cinnamon. The combination of nutty and spicy undertones is at once at home with the Indian palate. Given the exquisiteness of this sensorial journey, it comes at Rs 2. This has been ensured by their cellar masters who pass on their superior knowledge down the generations.
Terroir refers to the blend of soil, climate, and human skill that come together to create the product. What contributes to the quality is the chalky, porous soil, the curve of the Charente valley, the Massif Central mountains to the east, the Gulf Stream blowing from the Atlantic to the west, and the skill of generations of local winegrowers and distillers.
This is no easy mission, no matter how brilliant a master blender might be at his or her trade. To do so takes the skills of an alchemist, the soul of a musician, and an uncanny ability to imagine just what the flavor of a perfectly aged eau-de-vie will be long after the taster has passed away. Indeed, it takes 30, 40, 50 years or more of aging to enter this hallowed category.
In addition, every eau-de-vie hails from the Grande Champagne premier cru. The result is a taste and aroma profile that is virtually one of a kind. The combination is simply epic, an absolute authority when it comes to old Cognac. So, there you have it—the bar that each of our contenders has to equal to be considered a potential alternative for the famous Louis XIII. This Cognac experience is made from a Grande Champagne blend of 10 rare eaux-de-vie.
Tesseron has a unique presentation: a dem-john shaped decanter that holds 1. Tesseron Extreme Cognac is velvety and supple on the palate, a sensory experience that is testament to its aging process and high quality. This Cognac is surprisingly different, due to its complex depth of flavors that intensify and develop with every sip. The result is a powerful, yet refined, taste profile.
I particularly love that it offers many of the rarer aromas that only appear in truly old Cognacs.
