Cognac, named after the town of Cognac, is a brandy produced in the region surrounding the town. It must be made from at least 90% of the grapes Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche or Colombard. However, most cognac is made from Ugni Blanc only.
Cognac must also be distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged at least 2 years in French oak barrels that are sealed air tight in order to be called cognac.
A similar drink, but distilled in a different way and produced in another region is armagnac from Armagnac.
