Cognac Distillery For Sale

This nice lady tried to sell us her Cognac distillery maker. They actually cost over several hundred thousand dollars. Most small makers only have one and it takes them several generations to pay it off - this lady is still paying off this one.

The distillery is made of copper (best conductor of heat without oxidising) and takes about 12 hrs to produce one litre of 70% proof "eau de vie" from 90 litres of grape juice.

After haggling we settled for a sip of "eau de vie" which was like drinking flowers and fire together!!!
