Christmas Cognacs

Christmas Cognacs

With Christmas now just around the corner, we’ve got a lot to be excited about over the next couple of days.

Whether you’re hoping to treat an existing Cognac enthusiast or looking to find the right offering for someone curious about Cognac and the spirits world in general – our Cognac Recommendation Assistant Service helps you select the perfect gift according to price, taste and age. Before you get started, our first tip invites you to browse our Christmas Cognacs selection, as this selection not only boasts outstanding Cognacs, but also Vintage Cognacs - with each year comes a story, a sentimental value and a thoughtful gift idea. Please note the order deadlines for Christmas.

A Merry Ode to Cognac

The children are in bed
And the decorations on the tree
Now it’s time to treat yourself
To some festive eaux-de-vie

This is when you thank yourself 
For stocking up the shelf 
As you have two exquisite bottles
From the Cognac Expert elf

The hardest question is 
Which one to enjoy first? 
Will it be the Pasquet 
Or a Voyer to quench your thirst?

Maybe Le Cognac d'André
From Trésors de Famille 
With its notes of nutmeg, cinnamon 
And hints of orange peel

Perhaps the finest Extra Cognac 
From the vineyards of Grande Champagne 
With aromas of tobacco, spices 
And a finish that remains

The red wax of Prulho Hors d'Age
Has certainly caught your eye
From Grande Champagne - what a "Voyage"
A truly excellent buy

The Sophie & Max Edition Number 3 
Is impossible to resist
Aged over a couple of decades, too
What a treasure to exist

Whichever bottle takes your fancy 
One thing will be true 
It’s bound to be a merry evening 
With a glass of Cognac to accompany you.

Our digital assistant has helped to find the perfect Cognac.

You're not aware of our Recommendation assistant?

We find the perfect Cognac bottle to suit your preferences, based on factors such as your personal taste, age, price range and more. Our personalized recommendation service tool will assist you in finding the best match from more than 1000 different Cognac bottles.

Vintage Cognacs

A Vintage Cognac is a Cognac from a single year and a single harvest, not a blend from different eaux-de-vie like an XO or a VSOP. It is also referred to as a Millésime Cognac. We commonly know this from Whisky as “single barrel“, which means the spirit comes from one single source: one year, one estate, one barrel.

It's actually a very special gift to find a Vintage Cognac of a birthday, or one for Christmas.

Join us on a deep dive into everything and anything related to age as it relates to Cognac. Taylor explores Cognac’s official cahier des charges making sense of the rules and regulations, as well as any subtle exceptions, and clever tricks, that may exist. You may have thought you knew a thing or two about age in Cognac, but this will solidify your understanding on the topic.

Find fifteen minutes; pour yourself a glass of your favorite Cognac, and head over to our blog to read in-depth on how age is counted and communicated via a label.
