Every year, National Cognac Day 2026 is observed on June 4 to celebrate the delicious premium type of brandy consumed across the world.
Cognac is known to be a premium type of brandy that is made in the Cognac region of France, and is made by twice distilling white grapes.
No, not every brandy can be Cognac, as it is restricted to the French region, and makers have to follow a set of rules including the type of grapes.
The flavour of Cognac is known to be more smooth and refined, as compared to brandy which can be sweet or dry depending on where it is made.
Some of the popular cocktails made with Cognac are The Sidecar, French Mule, and even a Cognac Old Fashioned, among other variations.
