Add your own review!

Overview

Widely considered the finest distilled spirit in the world, Cognac has evolved against a fascinating backdrop of sin and seduction. Politics and intrigue between cognac-producing families has, over the centuries, weaved an intriguing tapestry of controversy. Cognac: A Liquid History brings this passionate and intriguing past to the forefront, unfolding, decade by decade, the history, secrets and untold tales surrounding the world's most noble spirit. Seen through the eyes of Salvatore Calabrese, a renowned and respected cognac expert, this book is a personal and insightful perspective on the spirit that earned its image of virility and strength from Napoleon Bonaparte.
