Cognac Gautier The distillation process of fine cognac is rather precise, with certain parameters that must be met to gain cognac classification. Grapes can only be obtained from a certain region in France (in the region of Cognac). It can only be aged for 3 years, whereas bourbon (cognac's somewhat less expensive relation), ages for 7 years. What sets the brands apart is the amount of time the spirit is distilled. The longer it distills, the better it tastes, and the more expensive it becomes. Majeste XO's award- winning cognac, for example, has aged 25 years. Distillers of the top cognac brands pay particular attention to some variables in the distilling process that set them above the rest. One is the quality of the barrel the spirit is distilled in. And another is to ensure the earth floor of the warehouse is of suitable quality. Extraordinarily critical factors in producing world-class cognac.
