In fact, it is not so, and the difference between them is enormous. There are differences in raw materials and in production. So, the pride of America is undeniable is whiskey "Jack Daniels". Cognac was invented in France, originally it is known from the province of the same name. But distinctions do not end there. The remainder of this article we will discuss all nuances. And yet...Jack Daniels cognac

A Little history

The Man, very devoted to God, but experiencing at least a strong love for alcohol - Dann Call, was a priest and had his own distillery, which subsequently hired boy Jasper Daniel. The kid was no older than seven years, but seeing his intelligence and diligence, the Holy father began to teach him everything he knew. The boy grew up and soon became a partner of the old priest. At the age of thirteen he had inherited the distillery and showed that copes with such a case as the hard liquor business. It is Jasper, and became the Creator of the world-famous product under the trademark Jack Daniels. Cognac worldwide demand, but to make it overall more complicated. This requires careful selection of the right ingredients. At the same aging in barrels, French drink is more expensive, but this rule does not work if you compare it to whiskey "Jack Daniels". The cognac with the same temporal exposure and even the most well-known manufacturer give him a price.Jack Daniels cognac or whiskey

Development process

Gradually, the distillery was turned into a small, but perfectly functioning plant. In 1866 he became the first man to officially register their unique production of whiskey. This date we see on the label, acquiring a "Jack Daniels". The product was high-quality by filtering on the corner of sugar maple and using the correct water. And for that Jack had purchased a plot of land near the town of Linsburg. It was here he discovered a spring with clean, delicious water and soft. Trade began to expand and improve. A normal thirteen year old boy became the owner of a popular worldwide alcoholic brand. Jack was sitting on the ground, all the while developing their business, making the right marketing moves. For example, in 1892, of the thirteen employees of the enterprise they were created by a group called Original Silver Cornet Band quickly became famous in the region. This publicity stunt made products of the brand even more popular.

The appearance of the bottle

In large glass bottles with a special star marking on the term of exposure, from the first days of production and still produces brandy. "Jack Daniels" (a picture of the old product can still be found on the Internet) was originally sold in earthenware bottles with oak stoppers. Ourselves bottles were a matter of quantity, and the price is sky high. The tubes were engraved "Mr. Jack", indicating the quality of the product. This package was replaced by a new only in 1895, when a salesman from Illinois, introduced in his presentation a completely new, unusual shape of the bottle, breaks all possible stereotypes. She was with a screw plug, square, convenient to carry and is so pleased with Jack that he realized it in a container and needs to sell his "Jack Daniels".

This is a whiskey or cognac?

A Knowledgeable person this question for a few minutes, it may confound. Both of these strong alcoholic beverage aged in oak barrels, but there the similarity ends. Cognac is made exclusively from white grapes of certain varieties as raw material for whiskey is one of the types of cereals (rice, millet, wheat, corn, buckwheat, rye, or barley). That is, both beverages have a completely different taste and aroma. And, of course, there are a number of differences in manufacturing technology. Thus, if you are interested in the nuances, you have to first figure out what is “Jack Daniels". Brandy or whisky in front of you to determine after that will not be difficult.

The Difference in production

For distilling cognac alembic is used-the classic cube made of copper, and distilling whiskey used two devices at once. And an interesting fact is that when one of them is for any reason fails, it is not repaired, and bought exactly the same even with identical defects on the body. The manufacturer excludes any changes in its technology and is afraid of even the slightest deviations from the ideal in taste, so it doesn't reflect on the reputation of such a successful and world-famous brands as ‘Jack Daniel’. Cognac easier to manufacture and requires only a single stage, whiskey is often distilled from a combination of not just two, but three times.

Since 1904 the drink of the Jack Daniels began to gain worldwide fame. At first he receivedgold medal in St. Louis, next year is again repeated. International gold medal was awarded to the drink in Belgium and other countries were awarded this whisky awards and medals for the highest quality. In 1911, the company lost its founder, who died unexpectedly because of blood infection. The right of inheritance plant and property came to his nephew LEM Motl, who decided not to change anything, because the production was so finely tuned, and the taste of the drink are all considered exceptional. The changes were not introduced until 1988, while the head of the company did not Jack RAR. To filter began to use wood charcoal, but now the whiskey was purified twice. First, as before, was performed before it is placed in the barrel, the second was done in the fourth year of exposure. The drink has become more elegant taste, delicate and soft at the same time.

Technology of cognac creation is no less interesting. Wine from the Cognac region does not exceed a fortress in seven degrees, and so long kept. Soon the Normans and Saxons began to abandon its purchase. To save the product, the winemakers came up to overtake him and left to wait for buyer in oak barrels. Storage often takes several years or more, and the first fragrant cognac.

“Jack Daniels": how to distinguish an original from a fake from the first glance

Genuine bottle form is a flat parallelepiped with slightly sharp edges and perfectly smooth edges. In the fake production of this effect is difficult to achieve: the faces get rounded, blurred.

Jack Daniels is a whiskey or cognac

Now it is necessary to pay attention to the design. Embossed lettering and engraving on the lower and upper edges of the bottle – a distinctive sign of the original. To make them clear is quite difficult, and in cheap counterfeit form, they will be blurred and smoothed. If you still forgery could not be detected, need to look at the label. On the company's official website has an updated design. Embrace the correct font, size of labels... If there's no doubt there, we should pay attention to the attachment of the label to the bottle. On the original everything will be symmetrical, fake characterized by the presence of adhesive residue and lack of adherence.

Brandy might be Dagestani or Armenian, but only France has all the legal rights to manufacture it and strictly monitors the quality of the product, so if the label lists a different country of manufacture, most likely, the drink belongs to the category of brandy. Or is it just a fake, not cognac.

“Jack Daniels" (0,5-liter bottle of whiskey) is different and unique EI-code, located in a corner of the sticker and the signifier is the date of filling and the number of the barrel.

Dive deep

Now consider the cap and its design. The original it is made of high quality plastic, covered in glossy black film with a smooth section. On the fake film, as a rule, is missing, and the lid is made of metal. Go to the bottom. As mentioned above, it is a square with perfectly sharp edges and all necessary consumer information. A sign of forgery can be the presence of the imprint of the circle from the pressing machine, the original of such defect simply can't be. And, of course, is the price-about a thousand rubles for a classic bottle of 0.5 liters and not less than 1700 rubles. per liter - a price tag indicates that it is the real "Jack Daniels".

Brandy is a drink with a strength of 40-60 degrees. The raw material for it are white grape varieties. In the classic version of spin uses a press. Sugar here is not added, and the juice from fermented. The result is a dry wine. After several repeated distillations and aging in barrels for at least two years, the resulting cognac alcohol can be called cognac.brandy Jack Daniels how to distinguish an original from a forgery

The Right tasting drink

Even the most exquisite and high-quality drink, you can easily ruin, if used correctly. And to appreciate the taste of the original, you need to learn it to taste. In our country few people have a clear idea about it. Spirits many are accustomed to drink, when the alcohol slowly and savor. Even better if it will be in the room with a soft subdued lighting and quiet atmosphere that will allow you to focus completely on the ritual of drinking and to receive from him a real pleasure. The bottle must be cold. And for that half an hour before tasting, put it in the freezer. The drink is served only in deep wine glasses on a stem, the contents vzbaltyvayut. Fill glasses one-third, not more - it's more convenient to observe the iridescence and play of color beverage with a beautiful amber hue. So decided to drink whiskey ‘Jack Daniel’.

Cognac (reviews – a direct proof) drink, some hold a drink in my hand and warmed it. Smell is slightly tart and sweet, in front of a small gulp, experts recommend sure to enjoy its aroma.

1. To mix the drink with a different alcohol or consume it after.

2. Drink juice,water, etc.

3. Quick drink and a bite to eat at once without waiting for the aftertaste.

4. Use any decoration for glass straws. Brandy and whisky - a true man's beverage and similar cases, they simply do not accept.

What drink is healthier

If you compare a drink for the health benefits, of course, the winner will be a good brandy. Unlike whiskey, it has a positive effect on the human body, does not contain esters and fusel oils. But high-quality malt whisky is also useful. It has more ellagic acid than wine. This antioxidant is able to withstand the development of cancer pathologies and helps the heart. Real American whiskey, tart and sweet, has firmly won its place in the world. It contains subtle notes of caramel, cherry and light haze. And to finally be sure of the authenticity of the product, to buy it must be exclusively in specialized shops, with the necessary quality certificates.
