Top 10 cognacs

Wine culled from the chalky soil of France鈥檚 Cognac region has a tendency to be acidic, thin and unpalatable. This might have doomed the terroir to gastronomic obscurity, had the region鈥檚 vintners not been fortunate enough to discover that this wine was excellent for distilling. It so exemplified this ability, in fact, that the region鈥檚 brandy varietals gradually assumed the name of their otherwise-maligned home and Cognac became a beverage of choice the world over. Produced from the combination of various white wines (known as 鈥渆aux de vie鈥�), Cognacs are aged to maturity in barrels before bottling and distribution. In the course of its centuries-long life Cognac has been considered a drink for the poor, an exclusive property of upscale gentlemen鈥檚 clubs and a symbol of hip-hop excess. At present, Cognac distillers draw from all facets of this varied past to create some of the finest tasting and most exclusive liquors on the planet.
