> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Finally a feud up my alley, although I’m not sure if cognac is brand or type of brandy. I don;t drink brandy. for #7, I hope I don;t regret not saying “whiskey sour”. Cognac is more of a type of brandy, but it’s not really the same as brandy. Brandy is pretty much any distillate of grapes. Cognac must come from the Cognac region of France and is made from specific varietals of grape. (And actually, the grapes that go into brandy and cognac you’d never want to make wine from.) > [@This\_ll\_Do](#): > > 1.

FTR, I dd know that Jack Daniels is not officially a “bourbon” but the feud did not say anything about being technically correct. (I read it this time!! after some of my answers were disqualified in the spice feud). ---
