“The NYAK brand came into conception during a time when Cognac houses in France started to realize the consumption in the U.S. was drifting away from its tradition of being used as a digestive toward a more casual, fun-loving, and informal approach,” says McKinley. “Many aspects of this shift in American culture can be attributed to the birth of the NYAK brand.”.

Nyak VS Cognac Tasting Notes

Nose: Toasty oak notes of bourbon vanilla and toasted bread that stand out against a delightful peppery gourmet base of pear, grape and light honey.

Palate: Smooth tannins come through in the attack, followed by notes of pastry and marmalade, ripe apricot, pear, & butterscotch.

Finish: Silky smooth with a subtle spice finish.

Distillery Information

Created in 1830, the House is now run by the sixth generation of the family, legacy of Cognac distillation and blending. The current generation perpetuates a tradition of careful innovation and artful blending. The aging cellars and the distillery overlook the lazy Lary river: everything takes its time in Cognac.

The first distillation-premiere chauffe- takes place in a 10,000 liters copper pot still. The heads are kept to be recycled with the wines. The tails are cut at 2% alcohol and discarded. The resulting juice -brouillis- weight 28%-32% alcohol depending on the vintage.

The brouillis is then distilled. Second distillation or bonne chauffe- in 2,500 liters copper pot stills. The heads are set aside to be recycled in the wines for their first distillation.The tails are cut at 60% alcohol, you want flavors not heaviness, and recycled into the brouillis for the bonne chauffe.
