Everyone knows that Russian cognac doesn't really exist. Just as there is no cognac Armenian, Georgian, Moldavian, etc. This proud name can only be worn by a drink made in France, on the territory of the region of the same name. Everything else is brandy. Nevertheless, a tradition is a tradition, especially if it is so many years old. After all, they say that even Peter I in 1718 issued a decree at the mouth of the Terek River to begin the production of a strong grape drink like French. Since those times, the phrase “Russian cognac” has appeared, but now almost any inhabitant of Russia is much closer to the Russian product or Armenian than the very French one. By the way, it is worth noting that the leading Russian producers of cognac products produce strong and aged grape alcohol that is not much inferior to foreign brands. The same can be said in relation to a drink called - "Stone Lion". Cognac of this brand has proven itself perfectly. It will be discussed further.

Who is the manufacturer of the brand and where is it produced

On the first of November 2013 in the city of Perm one of the largest Russian producers of spiritsbeverages, the company "Synergy", announced the launch of a new strong alcoholic drink. It was cognac "Stone Lion" aged 5 years. Synergy OJSC produces a large number of different alcoholic beverages, and is also the official distributor of such world-famous brands of elite alcohol as Scotch whiskey Glynfiditch, Grants, Clan McGregor, Hendrix gin and Irish whiskey Tullamore Dew. And this is not a complete list.

Drink "Stone Lion" - cognac, focused, according to the representative of "Synergy", the consumer, whose age ranges from 30 to 45 years. This drink is a logical development of the company's cognac product line. By the way, one of the well-known brands already produced by the company is the notorious Golden Reserve.

"Stone lion" (cognac): what is it like

The technology for making cognac "Stone Lion" was developed for about a year and a half. The product is available in three types of containers, a glass bottle of 0.375 l, 0.5 l and 0.7 l, the strength of the drink is 40%. The design of the bottles is made in a classic European style. Double-sided label, dark bottle with ceramic matte finish and greenish tint. Of course, grapes do not grow in the latitudes of Perm, so the "Stone Lion" is made from French distillates, which is why the quality is not inferior to many French samples. No matter what the ill-wishers say, "Stone Lion" is cognac inthe true meaning of the name. The color of this drink really confirms its five years of aging with its dark amber hue. The aroma is light, floral, with a slight hint of meadow herbs. The taste is enveloping, with elements of fruity shades and a slight aftertaste of chocolate and vanilla. The aftertaste is pleasant - medium duration and medium degree of burning.

In closing

And in conclusion, I would like to add that the Stone Lion cognac has very good reviews, the cost of such an acquisition is also acceptable and starts from 550-600 rubles. After drinking it, of course, within reasonable limits, the next day there is no hangover and headache. In general, a very good quality cognac for very little money.
