A Shot of Business Central and A Beer Podcast Show Notes
What we're drinking
Elegance and maturity exude from the glass thanks to the powerful aromatics of this luxurious Cognac. A dense and layered nose showing dark chocolate, toasted oak, coconut, baked nectarines, apricot jam with raisins, vanilla blossoms, white alpine flowers, and clove. The palate is a textural delight, showing golden raisins, honey-drizzled apples, juicy white peach and apricot balanced with dark, dried fruits, French oak spice, black pepper and subtle anise. The finish is long and elegant with dark chocolates, stone fruit and grape persisting after wave of baking spice and oak subsides. An exceptional Cognac that handily outperforms brandies twice its price. Reviewed by: Binny's

What is Cognac?
Cognac is a type of brandy produced in the Cognac region of France. It's made from distilled white wine that's aged in French oak barrels for at least two years. The distillation season runs from October 1 to March 31, giving the distillers five months to produce cognac.
Cognac is classified into three general categories:
VS: Very special, aged for at least two years
VSOP: Very superior old pale, aged for at least four years
XO: Extra-old, aged for at least ten years
Where did it come from?
While its exact origin is disputed, eggnog—as the majority of Americans know it—most likely came from Europe centuries ago. Its etymology is unclear, but common theories for the origin of the word “nog” point to both “noggin,” a type of cup, and “grog,” a historic term for watered-down rum. English settlers brought the drink with them across the Atlantic to what is now the United States and Canada, where French speakers call the drink “lait de poule,” or chicken’s milk. At the same time, egg-and-milk beverages were popping up in other regions throughout the world, and spiking these drinks with booze is far from an American-only tradition.
Are there really eggs in eggnog?
As the saying goes, if you want to make some eggnog, you have to break some eggs. At its core, eggnog is an emulsion of milk and/or cream, sugar, and, yes, eggs.
