Bisquit thinks it has the answer! Denis Lahouratate, the Maitre de Chai (Cellar Master) for Bisquit Cognac has revealed the newest introduction to the brand’s repertoire – the Perfect Serve.[/mk_fancy_title][vc_separator color=”mulled_wine” border_width=”2″][mk_button dimension=”flat” corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” icon=”mk-li-star” url=”#comp” fullwidth=”true” bg_color=”#ff3d7f” btn_hover_bg=”rgba(255,61,127,0.51)” btn_hover_txt_color=”#424242″]Win a Bisquit Cognac Perfect Serve Kit![/mk_button][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The tradition of consuming cognac with many ice cubes or swirling it in the palm of a warm hand does not bring out the best in the cognac for ultimate enjoyment.
The House of Bisquit Cognac has developed a special serving ritual that demonstrates the best way to enjoy cognac. The most crucial element of the ritual is the temperature at which the cognac is consumed. In order to ensure the perfect temperature, the Cuillère de Richesse (Spoon of Richness) is employed. The design of the spoon includes a small stainless steel plate upon which an ice cube is placed before cognac is poured gently over it.
The temperature at which cognac is served is important for two main reasons: “Warming cognac is not appropriate as increasing the temperature of the cognac makes the lighter aromas more volatile – they evaporate too quickly, leaving you with an unbalanced glass of cognac. Another consequence of warming cognac is that when the alcohol is warm, it has an aggressive taste – when it is served at the correct temperature, the alcohol is less aggressive, smoother and rounder.” commented Lahouratate.
The Bisquit Cognac Perfect Serve ritual is simple, yet sophisticated:
- Place the Cuillère de Richesse over the cognac glass.
- Gently place one ice cube onto the stainless steel plate.
- Slowly pour a serving of Bisquit V.S.O.P over the ice cube. The Cuillère de Richesse will guide the cognac into the glass through the opening in the spoon.
- Enjoy your cognac at the perfect temperature!
When using the Perfect Serve, it reduces the amount of time that the cognac is in contact with the ice cube, quickly reducing the temperature but avoiding the dilution of the cognac.
“We are not dictating how everyone should enjoy their cognac, it is after all a matter of personal taste. However, should you wish to become a true Bisquit Cognac connoisseur, our style of cognacs is best suited to our Perfect Serve ritual which brings the cognac to the optimal temperature for maximum enjoyment.” concluded Lahouratate.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/D6pukXqkCNg”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row id=”comp”][vc_column][vc_column_text][vfb id=’5′][/vc_column_text][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ force_font_size=”true” size_smallscreen=”17″ size_tablet=”17″ size_phone=”16″ margin_bottom=”5″ font_family=”Georgia, serif” font_type=”safefont” align=”center” responsive_align=”right”]Competition closes on the 30th of April 2017[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
