    I never knew this I looked it up:
    VS stands for “Very Special”: only eaux-de-vie (spirits) at least two years old can be used to make a VS cognac.
    VSOP stands for “Very Superior Old Pale”: VSOP cognacs are created from spirits aged for at least four years.
    XO stands for “Extra Old”: XO cognacs are made only from spirits at least six years old.

      The Napoleon is also a classification (though unofficial) with a minimum of 6 years aging. Often the V.S.O.P's will fall into this class if they carry a 6 year age.

    The only difference between Armagnac and Cognac is the type of still used. The former is distilled in pot stills, which carries over the mash flavor more so, I believe, and the latter comes from a column still, which produces high proof, but less tasty alcohol, in my opinion, from the condenser. The latter, I think, depends more upon the aging barrels to give it the flavor.

    • @davidsyrotiak8758
      @davidsyrotiak8758 2 года назад +5

      Thanks for the clarification. In my experience, my pallette prefers a younger Armangac. The complexities of an X.O. are lost on me. All I taste is ultra-concentrated alcohol.

    • @dexter4433
      @dexter4433 2 года назад +6

      I like both equally. But one thing with Armagnac is when you just open the bottle it tastes bad but if you let it sit for 30 mins after then drink it, it’s way better

      You got your "latter" and "former" mixed up...
      "Armagnac is column-distilled, which is a process where the alcohol is continuously heated between two vertical columns and then aged in French oak barrels or casks for a minimum of 1 year."
      Also, Armagnac is only distilled once, where Cognac is twice distilled.

    I like Armagnac. Like absinthe, you need to get the good stuff...and it's best to approach it with a clean palate, though for different reasons. A good Armagnac has layers of flavor and a good Absinthe does NOT have the unnatural neon green of a lava lamp. It's pretty simple to separate treasure from trash with each, which makes buying a good one fairly straightforward.

    Armagnac is Cognac's raw Gascon cousin. I REALLY enjoy the sharp flavour and am entertained by everything about it. This stuff is not meant for shooters, It is meant to sip and savour. Also, how about a little variety?? Those labels all looked the same. . . .so were they all the same brand?? I have 3 different brands of Armagnac on my shelf presently, and I'm sure there are more.
    Have you folks tried Calvados?? That is another French spirit with an apple-ish flavour and nose. You might like it better than the Armagnac.

The folks in the Balkans, especially Serbians, know their fruit brandies with slivovica being the most famous (plum brandy) especially if it is domača (homemade.) If someone out there in the world wide webs has access to them they should send the tryers some Balkan rakia.

      Armagnac is by far my brandy of choice. It has character, body, soul…and it’s robust enough to work well when cooking with it or mixing. It makes spectacular brandy butter and a very good brandy tonic.
      Calvados and Pommeau are really marvelous too. I confess though, my favorite way to use Calvados is mixed with a very good ginger beer - it’s like an elevated apple-y Moscow Mule, better in almost every way. Try it out!

    As an Armagnac nerd and a big fan of the channel it's great to see this. If you ever do another it would be cool to see more brands. Delord is fine but it's sort of like the Jim Beam or Johnnie Walker of Armagnac. Darroze, Dartigalongue, and L'encantada are generally better quality, more interesting brands that shouldn't be too difficult to find. Single vintage releases from Darroze in particular tend to be exceptional. As others have said it's typically a more rustic, whiskey like spirit compared to the smoother stuff from the Cognac region. Comparisons to american rye whiskey are often apt

    It's funny seeing another country besides the US make fun of the French. I wouldn't say the French are losers or as Groundskeeper Willie calls them, "Cheese-eating Surrender-Monkeys" but I would say that the French are legendarily difficult and sometimes pride themselves as being such. It's a sense of pride and stubbornness they embody combined with a meticulousness that rivals the Japanese that has many times got them into severe trouble. Case in point: the French Knights at Agincourt, the Dreyfuss Affair, and the first year of WWI.

      You couldn’t be more wrong… Since Napoleon (the 1st), France has been involved in more than a hundred wars. Even when excluding undecisives, ongoing or civil wars, there are 84 wars won for 12 lost.

    Napoleon wasn't as short as history suggests. He was 5'2 in French units. However in modern measurements he was around 5'7. Which in the 1700s was average height.

    wanted to ask you way in advance... I live in a town in Wisconsin who actually changes our name from New London to New Dublin every year for a week at St Patricks day. I agree it is hokey... but we are in the top 10 of parades and celebrations in the US. I have been watching you all for fyears and you bring a smile to my life... almost as much as a Buddha bowl from Fennly's in Callan :) My husband and I are both involved in the Admerican Legion and VFW organizations in our town. Each year during the St Paddy's parade we drive an older (Korean War) M-37 truck in the parade. It would be an honour for us to have you join us in 2023. But... I have to warn you this is Wisconsin... and we drink a lot... challenge you to keep up... Wisconsin can out drink Dublin any day! LOL

    I had that in Inverness once. We went in very prepared and brainy, with a list and papers and pens. A pub crawl trying out all the pubs and all the whiskeys, that was the plan. The first couple of entries were concise, wordy, descriptive. Somewhere between half a dozen and a dozen completed data sets in, our perception seems to have changed, as everything we tasted after that was fine, delicious, good, fine, fine. We eventually got lost and woke up on some historic cemetary with nary a lightsource, finding our can of emergency tuna being stolen. Or lost. Or thrown at Nessie, who knows.

    The nice thing about armagnac is that it's similar in flavor than cognac, but usually cheaper. You can get a well-aged armagnac for a little over a hundred dollars while a cognac of the same age would cost twice that.

    I'm French and although I much prefer an Irish whisky, I could not help but scream in my head when I saw how you serve and drink these.
    You are supposed to pour them into a thin enough glass, so that you will be able to warm the glass and its content with the palm of your hands for a few minutes before sipping it slowly over the course of at least 15 minutes for a single measure of Armagnac. You do not gulp it down, you do not drink it until it has aired nor until it has warmed up. Give it a try and you'll be getting a completely different taste and experience.
