It is an exciting offering to Bar Convent Brooklyn attendees. Cognac is a versatile spirit that bartenders can interpret in a plethora of cocktails. During these seminars, they will be able to discover the history, production, and taste the diversity of cognacs categories, from the young VS (Very Special) to XO (Extra Old) cognacs. The seminars are sponsored by the BNIC and will include several Cognac brands, including Hennessy, Courvoisier, HINE, DEAU, D'USSÉ, Cognac Park, Hardy, and more.

On June 13, the first Cognac seminar will focus on the range and versatility of youthful cognacs and why VS cognacs make the perfect base for cocktails. Attendees will discover the variability of flavors between different brands based on the terroir and production processes each spirit originates from and undergoes. This seminar will be led by industry expert and Cognac Educator, Dan Nicolaescu. And of course, a cocktail will be served to show another way of consuming this unique spirit!

On June 14, the second Cognac seminar will conduct a deep dive into XO cognacs from around the region. Attendees will have the opportunity to examine how the elements of time, wood, and blending influence the creation of these intricate masterpieces. They will also learn how to detect the aromas and flavors of rancio that gradually develop throughout the aging process. At the end of the tasting, be ready to test your knowledge with host, ms. franky, Cognac Educator & Modern Bartender, for a chance to win some fun prizes!
