Don’t know what any of this but also don’t want to ask? Here is a little cheat sheet:


Cognac is double distilled in copper pot stills using Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard grapes. It is aged French Limousin oak, which imparts subtle, spicy notes (compared to American oak which typically offers richer vanilla flavours). It is exclusively produced in the Cognac region of France. 

XO designates a Cognac in which the eau-de-vie (fancy European term for unaged brandy) has been aged for at least 10 years. It stands for “extra old” because it’s extra old. It was first created by Maurice Hennessey in 1870 as a gift for his friends. 

Armagnac is spicier and lighter bodied than cognac. It is distilled mostly using Ugni Blanc grapes, with a small amount of other varieties, most notably Baco. Armagnac is distilled using the unique “armagnacais” still, aged in French oak and is exclusive to the Armagnac region of France.

Tasting Experience


Join us for our “Discovery” tasting menu, a celebration of Daft’s Punk iconic second album in the form of a three course cocktail flight. Each cocktail incorporates the influences and themes of Discovery featuring seasonal ingredients, adventurous techniques and comes with a selection of small bites from our kitchen. 

A genre defying album released in 2001, Daft Punk’s Discovery changed the electronic music game by incorporating disco, funck, progressive rock into the French House of the 90s. Exploring themes of nostalgia, love and transformation, packaged as an electronic robot opera, we focused on three Side A tracks to inspire our cocktails. Allow us to take you on a journey of discovery with Daft Punk and the second Press Club tasting menu.
