Drinking Lessons No. 24 Cognac Armagnac (Seating #1)

COGNAC ARMAGNAC (featuring Remy Martin)

Cognac and Armagnac are two distinct but similar types of French brandy. Both of these spirits begin their lives as a humble, unpalatable white wine, which is then transformed into Cognac or Armagnac through a process of distillation and aging. This artisanal process is protected by French law, so that only spirits from certain regions made in the traditional way may be called Cognac and Armagnac.

Cognac was originally produced by Rémy Martin, a French winemaker, who founded the company in 1724. It is now owned by Rémy Cointreau, a company founded in 1991.

Guests can expect an animated 1 hour lesson in the preparation and history of Absinthe cocktails from leading bartenders, drink historians and quality distillers, plus a few bites from the Hunt Club kitchen. Sessions at 6pm or 8pm and limited to 12 seats.
