On the surface, the two are very similar: they are both wine spirits from southwest France, produced in essentially the same way and from similar Grape varieties. But there are subtle and essential differences between the two, which are the source of great regional pride. The two most obvious differences between Armagnac and Cognac are the region of origin and the Flavor profile. Armagnac comes from Gascony, 120 km southeast of Bordeaux.
