Brandy Battle: Cognac vs. Armagnac

It's 'battle royale' between the most successful brandy in the world and the oldest brandy in the world, between the rapper-endorsed 'liquid of the Gods' and the underdog, new artisanal spirit favored by the young and trendy craft beverage lovers! How can the same fruit, white grapes, give such opposite results? We'll go deep into the specificities that keep these two distinct beverages so different from each other yet equally lovable. One is usually considered light and elegant, while the other is more rustic and bold, but there is so much more to each than this reductive view! Through a variety of brands and marks, we'll sip our way through History and get to elect the winning category: Augier 'l'océanique,' Résidence, Maison Surrenne distillerie Galtauld, Château de Montifaud 2004 vintage, Delord 1973 50 years, Darroze 1987 Monturon 35 years, Château de Millet 30 years, Laubade Intemporel #5. Epic! French bites will be served before the class starts.
