steps

1. Every time you buy a new cognac, add a small amount to your infinity bottle
2. After adding to the infinity bottle, swirl to mix, and then wait at least 12 hours before sampling the result **(to allow the flavors to marry)**
3. When you start to run out of space, drink down the existing juice to make room for more. This will alter the ratios of the constituent bourbon, but in traditional [Solera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solera) style, a fraction of each will remain
4. Over time the infinity bottle will begin to take on its own character, which you can guide by the inclusion of cognacs with specific flavor profiles

notes

• **2021-04-01** Modeled after my [Bourbon infinity bottle](/bourbon-infinity-bottle.html), I decided to do the same with Cognac as a way to track what I've tried and what I've liked. Cognacs which I like/ think are a particularly good value are denoted with an asterisk
• **2022-02-10** I had the Remy Martin 1738 at a bar with a friend, and really enjoyed it. It had a richer, almost bourbony character while still retaining its Cognac backbone. Probably my favorite Cognac so far.
• **2022-08-05** Hennessy has such a commercial presence that you assume it won't be that good, but I was surprised to find that both their VS and VSOP offerings are some of my favorite so far. In contrast, I wasn't impressed with the Courvoisier, finding it a bit too light and floral for my preference.
