A.E. Dor For Cigar
On request only
A.E. Dor For Cigar is a French cognac with a very clear intention in its name. It is presented around the kind of calm, deliberate moment where cognac is enjoyed alongside a cigar, rather than as a purely general after-dinner pour.
At 42% ABV, it carries a little more presence than many softer-strength cognacs. The available information does not give detailed flavour notes, so it is best understood through its positioning: a cognac made to stand with a more contemplative cigar setting.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, bottles like this tend to speak to customers who are looking for a specific drinking occasion rather than just another cognac on the shelf. With only the last bottles remaining, A.E. Dor For Cigar has become a more limited choice for those drawn to (…)A.E. Dor Legend Old Res Op

A.E. Dor Legend Old Res Op is a French cognac bottled at 40% alcohol.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, a bottle like this is mainly interesting for customers looking specifically for A.E. Dor or for a less everyday reference within the cognac category. The indication that only the last bottles remain also gives it a more limited, momentary character.

Camus Extra Elegance 35cl is a French cognac bottled at 40%, presented in a compact format that gives it a refined, considered feel. The name itself sets the tone: this is a Camus release positioned around elegance rather than excess.
The 35cl bottle makes it a different proposition from a standard full-size bottle. It is approachable in format, neatly presented and well suited to anyone wanting to explore a cognac without committing to a larger bottle. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this release also stands out because only the last bottles remain, so availability is naturally limited.

Cognac Petit Champagne 1970 49y from The Whisky Agency stands out through its age and clearly stated origin. A Petit Champagne cognac from 1970 with 49 years of maturation is not a casual release; it is a bottle shaped by time and defined by a very specific place within the cognac category.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, releases like this naturally draw attention because they sit apart from everyday cognac selections. The 49.2% alcohol strength gives the bottling a serious, unpolished presence, while the long age statement remains the central part of its appeal.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, it also has a practical point of interest: these are the last bottles. That makes it worth noting for customers who want to add a specific Courvoisier expression to their drinks cabinet or choose a cognac with a clearly recognisable brand identity.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we would place a bottle like this with customers looking for a recognisable cognac rather than a technically described niche release. Its appeal lies in its directness: a French cognac carrying the Davidoff name.
As this concerns the last bottles, it also has a more limited place in the current selection. For anyone specifically looking for Davidoff cognac, that makes this bottle worth noticing.

Domaine Ricci J.L. Pasquet Lot 98
On request only
Domaine Ricci J.L. Pasquet Lot 98 is a cognac built around origin and texture rather than polish alone. It comes from Petite Champagne, is made from Ugni Blanc grapes and has matured in Limousin oak casks. Together, those details point to a cognac where fruit, oak and structure are allowed to speak clearly.
The bottling style is a major part of its appeal. Unfiltered and bottled at cask strength, at 48.7%, it keeps a close connection to the spirit as it came from the cask. That gives it presence, while the supplied notes still emphasise finesse rather than heaviness.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a cognac for customers who enjoy a more direct and expressive style, with ripe fruit, citrus zest, honeyed richness, caramel and a gentle spicy warmth. (…)Dupuy XO Tentation

The Frapin name gives the release a strong sense of place.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this Godet as a good fit for customers who want a recognisable cognac category, but with a less ordinary presentation. At 40% alcohol, it stays within a familiar strength for cognac, while the identity of the bottling gives it a more distinctive presence.

Hine Vintage 1989 is a French cognac built around a clearly stated vintage. The 1989 reference is tied to the distillation year, giving this bottle a more specific identity than a general cognac release.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, a bottle like this stands out because of that direct connection to a particular year. The vintage indication gives the cognac its own context: it is not just about category or brand, but about a release anchored in 1989.
With an alcoholic strength of 40%, the presentation remains classic for cognac. As only the last bottles are available, Hine Vintage 1989 also carries a natural sense of scarcity, without needing to overstate the point.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about cognac
What is cognac?
Cognac is a French brandy made from white grapes and may only come from the Cognac region in France. It is double-distilled and then aged in oak barrels.
What is armagnac?
Armagnac comes from the Armagnac region, also in south-western France. Armagnac production began in the 14th century, making it the oldest brandy in France.
Like Cognac, Armagnac is made from white grapes, but here different grape varieties are often used, such as Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco Blanc. The main difference is in the distillation process: Armagnac is distilled in a continuous distillation column, resulting in a richer and more complex eau-de-vie with a higher alcohol content. After distillation, Armagnac matures in oak barrels. Armagnac is thus distilled once unlike cognac which is distilled twice at a lower temperature and has a higher alcohol content.
Armagnac has a more robust and powerful flavour profile than Cognac, with pronounced notes of dried fruits, plums, vanilla, and leather. Due to the single distillation, it retains more of the original grape flavours.
What is calvados?
Calvados originates from the region of Normandy in northern France. It has a long history dating back to the 16th century, and it is often considered a symbol of Norman culture.
Calvados is made from apples (and sometimes pears), unlike grapes for Cognac and Armagnac. The apples are pressed to make cider, which is then distilled. Distillation can take place once or twice, depending on the appellation. As with the other two drinks, the eau-de-vie then matures in oak barrels.
Calvados has a fresh and fruity character, with distinct apple and sometimes pear-like notes. After ageing, more complex flavours can develop, such as butterscotch, spices and nuts.
What is brandy?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
What is sherry?
Sherry is a fortified wine from southern Spain, more specifically around the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the region of Andalusia. The special feature of sherry is that wine alcohol is added during or after fermentation, increasing the alcohol content (usually around 15-20%) and also making the wine last longer.
There are different styles of sherry, each with its own character. Fino, for example, is light, dry and fresh (often with hints of almond and bread dough), while Oloroso is just richer, darker and nutty due to oxidative ageing. Amontillado is a bit in between: fresh under flor at first, then more complex through oxidation. On the sweet side, you have, for example, Pedro Ximénez (PX), an intensely sweet, syrupy sherry with flavours of sultanas and caramel.
Sherry is often underrated, but it is enormously versatile: from a fresh aperitif to a perfect companion with tapas, cheeses or even desserts. So it is not an "old people's drink", but just one of the most diverse and gourmet wine styles around.
What is Pineau Des Charentes?
Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine from the Charente region in southwestern France, the same area known for its cognac production. It is not a wine in the traditional sense, but a mistelle-adrink made by mixing fresh grape juice with cognac. This combination stops fermentation, preserving the natural sweetness of the grape juice and giving the drink its distinctive sweet, rich and aromatic profile.
Pineau des Charentes is available in both white and red varieties. White Pineau is made from white grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche, while the red variant derives its deep colour and fruity aromas from grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It has a unique flavour that is not directly comparable to other drinks, but it does share characteristics with some well-known fortified wines:
- Port: Like port, Pineau is sweet and fortified, but Pineau tends to be lighter and fruitier.
- Sherry (Pedro Ximénez or Amontillado): White Pineau sometimes has the honeyed sweetness of PX sherry, but with a fresher touch.
- Madeira: Due to aging in oak, Pineau shares certain nutty and caramel-like notes with madeira.
- Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise: For those who like sweet dessert wines with floral and fruity aromas, Pineau is an excellent alternative.
What do VS, VSOP and XO mean?
These are age indications for the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend. The older, the more complex and softer the flavour usually becomes.
-
VS (Very Special): aged for a minimum of 2 years
-
VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale): aged for a minimum of 4 years
-
XO (Extra Old): aged for a minimum of 10 years (used to be 6 years)
These age designations are officially regulated by the appellation. This is not the case with rum, for example, in most cases.
What is the difference between cognac, brandy, armagnac and calvados?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
Cognac must come from the Cognac region and be made from specific grapes. Armagnac, in turn, comes from the Armagnac region in south-western France and is also made from grapes. Finally, Calvados comes from the Calvados region in Normandy and, unlike the other two, is made from apples and pears.
There are also differences in terms of distillation and maturation: Cognac uses double distillation in alambics, Armagnac a single continuous distillation, and Calvados can undergo both single and double distillation. Cognac and Calvados must be aged for a minimum of two years, while for Armagnac it is at least one year.
How do you drink cognac?
There are several ways to enjoy cognac. Traditionally, it is drunk at room temperature from a tulip-shaped glass such as a snifter. With an ice cube, the aromas become less heavy and even in cocktails, cognac is on the rise.
Does cognac get even better in the bottle?
No, like most spirits, cognac also matures solely in the barrel. Once the cognac is bottled, the ageing also stops. So an old bottle of cognac does not automatically improve with age.
How long can an opened bottle of cognac keep?
An opened bottle of cognac undergoes the same process as other spirits. Usually, you can keep an opened bottle for a very long time, up to several years. But cognac can also be subject to oxidation, a natural process that is started and intensified as soon as there is too much air/oxygen in the bottle in relation to the spirit. To avoid this, it is best to transfer the cognac into a smaller, airtight bottle or fill the bottle with marbles to reduce the proportion of air in the bottle. Never use glass decanters with glass stoppers, as these do not seal airtight and therefore do not prevent the oxidation process.
Which grapes are used for cognac?
The main grape variety is Ugni Blanc. This is by far the most commonly used grape variety for cognac, and produces a fresh, acidic wine that is ideal for distilling. In addition, cognac can also be made from the Folle Blanche and Colombard grape varieties.
Where can I buy cognac?
You can even buy cognac in supermarkets these days. But if you are looking for a good cognac, one that is tasty, qualitative and layered, then Drankenshop Broekmans is the place to be. In our range, you will find more than 200 different cognacs in all possible price categories, from a basic "everyday cognac" to the most exclusive eau-de-vie.
