COGNAC BRANDIES

"He who aspires to be a hero

must drink brandy."—

(Dr. Johnson)

It was in the course of the

loth Century thatthe Arabian

philosopher Abu-Ebn-Sina

added the word "Alcohol"

(A1 Kohl) to the vocabularies

The Chateau de Jarnac in the XVth Century

Europe, and distilled

spirits have been produced ever since. But it was not until the

17th Century that the products of the Province of which

Angouleme is the capital, became renowned for the special

qualities of their eaux-de-vie. The two principal towns in this

Province, Cognac and Jamac, have become the centre for the

production of the spirit now Imown in this country as Brandy.

The historic interest of Jarnac is not inferior to that of Cognac,

and it is notable that the Chateaxj"Coorvcisier stands to-day

on the site of the ChSteau de Jamac of the 15th Century. This

was the property of the Comtes de Jamac, whose successors

were the well-known Rohan family.
