Brandy is a spirit produced by distilling fruit wine. Cognac and Armagnac both come from grapes specific to the Cognac and Armagnac regions of France. Armagnac is made with a blend of grapes typically four and column-distilled twice. The result is a fruitier, more rustic spirit that isnt cut with water and therefore has a higher ABV. Cognac is usually made with just one grape, Ugni Blanc, and tends to have a lighter fruit flavor and more delicate profile. The letters that are included on bottle labels for Armagnac and Cognac represent the age of the spirit. V. O. (Very Old): Aged a minimum of 4 years. V. S. (Very Special): The youngest Cognac or Armagnac in the blend must be a minimum of 2 years old. V. S. O. P. (Very Special/Superior Old Pale): The youngest Cognac in the blend must be at least 4 years old or, for Armagnac, 5 years old (though often its much older). Napoleon: A Cognac thats 4 years old or an Armagnac thats at least 6 years old. X. O. (Extra Old): The youngest Cognac or Armagnac in the blend must be a minimum 10 years old. Cru: Not a statement of age, but place, basically the growing region, which youll see more often on Cognac (which has six official growing regions).
