What is cognac? This is a real aristocrat in the world of alcoholic beverages. Noble origin, complex and harmonious taste, amazingly rich bouquet of aromas and slightly burning, but such a pleasant aftertaste - this is what this strong alcoholic drink is like. The soft amber shine of the glass, fruity aroma with hints of vanilla, a slight noise in the head, and peace and relaxation in the soul … Approximately this is how cognac opens before us in all its versatility. So, let's talk about this drink using the Russian brand Komandirsky as an example.
The situation on the Russian cognac market
Now the state of the Russian alcohol market, namely cognac products, has stabilized. The middle price segment in terms of product quality has significantly strengthened. The population has become much more aware of how good the strong liquor offered is, and the culture of drinking has also grown. By the way, if we examine the statistical data, we can see that there is a steady upward trend in the consumption of domestic cognac. Yes, indeed, people began to choose products of domestic manufacturers, which, in terms of quality,practically does not concede to foreign. Against the backdrop of such changes, Komandirsky cognac is in increasing demand. And this is not surprising, because this brand is one of the three Russian leaders producing cognac products, and is in high demand.
Manufacturer
Commander cognac is produced in the city of Kaliningrad at the JSC SPI-RVVK plant by the Russian Traditions company. This organization has very decent sales figures in the Russian Federation. Literally over the past two years, the volume of products manufactured by the company has increased by at least five times. Not a small share of this volume falls just on "Komandirsky" cognac. The ever-increasing popularity of this drink is due to the competent promotion policy pursued by the company and, of course, the excellent quality of the brandy itself.
Types of "Commander's" cognac
Produced only three varieties of "Commander". This is a 3 star product, 4 star and 5 star. Also "Commander's" cognac is distinguished by its strength. If the 3-star "Commander" has 40 percent alcohol content, then already 4 and 5 stars have a strength of 42 percent. The three-year-old product is bottled in glass bottles with a capacity of 0.25 and 0.5 liters. Cognacs of four and five years of aging are bottled in glass bottles with a capacity of 0, 25, 0, 375 and 0.5 liters. There is also a gift version of "Commander"five-star brandy with a capacity of 0.5 liters in a box with two beautiful glasses. Of particular note is the design of the bottles into which this drink is poured. They are made in a rather aesthetic and very handy triangular shape. Thanks to such a bottle, products are better protected from fakes, since it is almost impossible to manually stick a label on such a container in the same way as in the original version.
Taste, bouquet and aroma
Most of the fans note the extremely successful combination of taste and cost of this drink. The aroma of cognac is not striking in its versatility. It is rather capacious and concise, like a commander's command. No wonder it has such a name. And if you look into it in more detail, then the bouquet of "Komandirsky" combines notes of fruit, vanilla and honey quite well. The drink has a series of shades from light straw to amber. It has a coffee-sweet taste and is slightly tart. The aftertaste is short and pungent. As for the slightly increased strength of the drink, for many men this is more of an advantage than a disadvantage. For those who prefer softer drinks, "Komandirsky" will suit any cocktail.
What do cognac eat according to etiquette
Like any other good cognac, "Komandirsky" can be drunk with a cigar, you can drink it with coffee or have a snack with dark chocolate. And you can combine, as the French like to do, coffee, cognac and chocolate. True, in this way it is desirable to consume no more than 100-150 grams of alcohol. Nevertheless, we are dealing with a strong alcoholic drink and it is better that the maximum effect of its use is a slight noise in the head, and not the so-called helicopters. In the case of a long feast, lean meat, hard cheese, olives or fruits can be served as an appetizer for cognac. If someone wants to drink a high-grade drink, any fruit juice or even lightly carbonated water will do. You can use cognac in the form of cocktails based on cola, pepsi or soda.
And finally, it remains to clarify the issue of purchasing this drink. If anyone, after this note, wishes to purchase Komandirsky cognac, the price for it will be approximately 300 rubles for a half-liter bottle of a three-year-old drink and up to 700 rubles for a gift box with a 5-year-old drink.
