Drink Up
by Johnny Strabler
C by Courvoisier
"Revolutionary cognac" is a very intriguing concept. What exactly makes something as revered and appreciated as cognac capable of being revolutionary? Well, for starters, it's produced in small batches. And it's double-barrel aged – the first of which is a young barrel, which brings out a full-bodied, strong wood character. The second barrel is more mature, which rounds out the taste, giving C a more smooth finish, with notes of orange peel, cloves, bread and a slight floral hint. Bottom line is that it's silky and delicious – and if you haven't noticed, the bottle is pretty sweet too.
