Remy 1738 is not tequila, it is actually a Cognac. Tequila and Cognac are two different types of spirits that come from different regions and are made using different methods.
Tequila is a Mexican spirit that is made from the blue agave plant. It is produced primarily in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, and must meet certain regulations to be called tequila. The agave plants are harvested, cooked, and then fermented and distilled to create tequila. There are different types of tequila, including blanco (unaged), reposado (aged for a short period of time), and añejo (aged for a longer period of time).
On the other hand, Cognac is a type of brandy that is made in the Cognac region of France. It is produced using specific grape varieties, primarily Ugni Blanc, which are fermented and then distilled twice in copper pot stills. The distilled spirit is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years, although many Cognacs are aged for much longer.
Remy 1738 Accord Royal is a specific expression of Cognac that was created by the Remy Martin house. It is named after the Accord Royal granted by King Louis XV to Remy Martin in 1738, which allowed the company to use his land to plant vines. This Cognac sits between Remy Martin's VSOP and XO expressions in terms of age and quality. It is known for its rich and robust flavor profile, with notes of caramel, dried fruit, and spices.
As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to taste and experience a wide range of spirits, including Cognacs and tequilas. Each spirit has its own unique characteristics and flavors, which are influenced by factors such as the ingredients used, the production methods, and the aging process. It is always fascinating to explore the world of spirits and discover the nuances and complexities of each one.
Remy 1738 is not tequila, but rather a Cognac. Tequila is a Mexican spirit made from the blue agave plant, while Cognac is a brandy made in the Cognac region of France. Remy 1738 is a specific expression of Cognac that offers a rich and robust flavor profile.
