Cognac is made from a distilled wine.
Cognac comes from the county of "Cognac" in France. If it's made in somewhere else, then it is not Cognac at all.
It is being kept in oak barrels for many years where it will get better tasting and get's it red-brown color.
Years in the barrel:
2 - *****, VS, Sélection, de Luxe 4 - VSOP, VO, Réserve, Vieux 6 - Napoleon, XO, Extra, Royal, Imperial
If your cognac is 20 years old, it still might be XO for example. That is only the minimal requirement.
Cognac DOES NOT get better in the bottle any more, only the years in the oak barrel do matter.
(noun) A condition which causes loss of memory, motor skills, and inhibitions, and occurs as a result of drinking too much cognac. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: angry/confusing voicemails/text messages, black eyes, and/or legal trouble.

Eric: SCUMFUCK FOR LIFE!

You know Todd: the cognac conservative with the trucking company? Yeah, he's said his freedoms are being stolen again, because he has to pay federal road taxes.
