The Chateau de Jarnac in the XVth Century Europe, and distilled spirits have been produced ever since. But it was not until the 17th Century that the products of the Province of which Angouleme is the capital, became renowned for the special qualities of their eaux-de-vie. The two principal towns in this Province, Cognac and Jamac, have become the centre for the production of the spirit now Imown in this country as Brandy.
