This, the most up-to-date illustrated guide to cognac, reveals the intruiging history of this fascinating spirit and its increasing prominence in today's markets. The first part of the book explores the intricate and diverse methods of cognac production and unfolds the extraordinary story of this brandy-producing region. The second part of the book describes how to best enjoy drinking cognac and includes cocktail recipes. There is advice on the perfect glass to use and matching different ages and styles to your taste, and even matching with cigars. The final section of the book is a directory that profiles over 100 top cognacs and is illustrated with cognac labels. There are also details of the producer and the author's own tasting notes.
