As Cognac matures in oak barrels, slow evaporation occurs, refining the quality and concentrating the finest flavors and aromas. For centuries, the alcohol that evaporates during the aging process has been known as the mythical “Angels’ Share.” What remains in the barrel is a small quantity of Cognac after many years of maturation and evaporation. The ancestors called it the “Angel’s Selection” and Pierre Ferrand call it “Sélection des Anges.”
It starts with a pastry profile on raisin, honey, vanilla, apricot and fresh tobacco with elegant floral notes, especially rose and jasmine. Smooth and full, the first sip brings woody and spicy notes such as pepper, oak, nutmeg, curry and ginger. It then evolves on an extremely fruity style with pineapple, coconut, persimmon, dried banana, lemon curd and almond. Great for sipping.
Brandy is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented fruit juice, most commonly derived from grapes, with Cognac specifically denoting a premium type produced exclusively in the Cognac region of France. Distinguished by its adherence to strict regulations, Cognac undergoes double distillation and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a refined and complex flavor profile, making it a symbol of luxury in the world of spirits. However, it can also be produced from other fruits like apples, pears, or cherries. The production process involves fermenting the fruit sugars and then distilling the resulting liquid to create a higher alcohol content. Brandy comes in various styles and aging categories, with different flavor profiles and characteristics, and it can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in cocktails.
