Is cognac a type of whisky????

No,
Cognac is a type of brandy (grape based alcohol)
Most every place it is called brandy, except for one particular spot in France , if it is made there...it gets to be called Cognac.
Kinda like how only whisky made a certain way in Scotland gets the title of Scotch.
Cognac / Brandy is really really good...probably deserving of a thread.....
If any one of you assholes ever comes and visits me, I live VERY near one of the premier Brandy makers in the world....and have access to some rela good cheap brandy.
