Probably everyone knows that cognac is a drink with character, which has its own traditions and secrets. But even those who consider themselves a true connoisseur often make mistakes that affect the taste, impression and even … reputation. Therefore, to get the most out of this noble drink, it is worth avoiding mistakes. Cognac Adjari tells you about the top 5 most common mistakes, which can be easily avoided if you know what to pay attention to.
1. Choosing cognac only by the number of “stars”
Many people still believe that “5 stars” automatically means the best option. In fact, these stars only denote the age of aging of the spirits, not the quality of the drink. Sometimes a younger but skillfully put together blend can give much more emotion than an older standard cognac.
Adjari c ognac focuses on the blend, the balance of taste, aroma and emotions that the consumer gets from the first sip.
2. Drink 50 like vodka
Cognac is not a shot at the bar. This drink reveals itself gradually, like a complex musical composition, where each note has its own time of sounding.
The biggest loss is to miss the aromatic range, which is half of the pleasure of tasting. In Adjari cognac you can feel the notes of oak, fruit and light vanilla and chocolate. The main thing is to give the drink time in the glass to open up and feel all the flavors.
3. Wrong glass
A glass with a thick bottom or narrow neck is like listening to a symphony through cheap headphones. The ideal glass has a tulip shape or a classic “snifter” that allows the flavor to unfold fully.
Adjari brand experts emphasize the importance of the right glassware – even the best cognac in the wrong glass loses up to 40% of its aroma.
4. Storage in wrong conditions
Light, heat and temperature fluctuations gradually destroy the flavor structure of cognac. These factors can not only deteriorate the flavor, but also spoil the product itself over time.
Proper storage of cognac involves a dry and dark place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
5. It is necessary to take only “French”
France is indeed the birthplace of cognac, but this does not mean that quality drinks are produced exclusively there. A classic approach, quality alcohol, proper aging in oak barrels and respect for tradition are what really matters.
Adjari proves that it is possible to create drinks with their own character, balance and softness, which are not inferior to the best world samples.
By the way, research has shown that when aged in oak barrels, brandy alcohol absorbs polyphenols, pigments, tannins and other substances.
A scientific paper published in PubMed confirmed the high antioxidant activity of cognac due to its content of gallic acid, syringaldehyde and elagic acid. These components may have positive effects on the cardiovascular system with moderate consumption of a quality beverage.
Another PubMed study showed that cognac increases the antioxidant capacity of blood plasma in healthy people: it is the polyphenols of grapes and oak wood that have biologically active properties that may have a positive effect on vascular health. Therefore, the choice of quality cognac is not only a matter of taste.
“The culture of cognac consumption is an art that requires knowledge and attention to detail. Avoiding these simple mistakes, you can discover the true depth of flavor of the noble drink.
If you follow the right principles of tasting, each glass of cognac can become a real pleasure. And with quality Adjari cognac this pleasure will become even more vivid and memorable”, – emphasizes the brand.
