The Bracha Rishona on Cognac is Shehakol, and the Bracha Acharona is Borei Nefashos.
Even though cognac is made from wine, since it is distilled, it becomes Shehakol.
Blessed are You Hashem our God King of the universe, Everything was created through His words.
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Haolam, Shehakol Nihyah Bidvaro.
Blessed are You, Hashem our God, King of the universe, Who creates numerous living things with their deficiencies; for all that You have created with which to maintain the life of every being. Blessed is He, the life of the worlds.
Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Haolam, Borei Nefashos Rabos V'chesronan Al Kol Ma Shebarasa L'hachayos Bahem Nefesh Kol Chai, Baruch Chei Haolamim.
