Literary analysis:
While most literary references to cognac evoke the famed warm spirit, a few writers harness its name to evoke a sumptuous, amber‐brown color—a hue as inviting as the drink itself. In such passages the term “cognac” is not merely a liquid refreshment but a descriptor of visual warmth and understated luxury, conjuring a glow reminiscent of aged leather or polished wood. This dual use imbues scenes with a subtle richness, linking sensory pleasure with visual splendor and offering the reader a multisensory experience of refinement and nostalgia [1, 2].
