In the first comprehensive history of this celebrated drink, Kyle Jarrard charts Cognac’s birth in the 1500s and its transformation into the world’s most coveted brandy. Along the way, he reveals how Cognac distillers weathered vineyard die-offs, the German occupation, and other challenges over the years-and offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Hennessy, Remy-Martin, Courvoisier, Martell, and other legendary brands.
