And why not get off the beaten track?
2 years ago, we organized visits to some excellent cognac houses with the Rhum Club Paris. Among all that was tasted (and believe me, there was a lot!), one reference put everyone in agreement. It was so exceptional that 9 out of 11 members immediately asked to buy it.
It was a very (very) old cognac, with an aromatic profile that could fool any rum lover. In fact, it even tricked a famous cellar master in a blind tasting.
To give you an idea, some have dubbed it the “Demerognac”, while others compare it to a large TDL.
Yes, that kind of gem!
It's an extremely complex cognac, evolving on candied fruit, cocoa, nuts and precious wood, with great persistence.
Problem? This lot was intended to leave exclusively for the US 😱
While the best rum selections are often reserved for the European market, excellent cognacs tend to head for the USA.
This profile had won us over so much that we couldn't bring ourselves to do it. So, after lengthy negotiations, we managed to reach an agreement and retain a good portion of the cask to share with the community of enthusiasts in France and Europe.
What a blast! Balance, refinement, complexity and deliciousness. It's all there!
It's been a long time since I've had so much pleasure. Advice to those lucky enough to get one... It's a beautiful wine that needs time to mature.
Congratulations to our two friends, for this gem is a real banger!
The finish is totally in keeping with the rest of the tasting, confirming the very homogenous and true-to-itself nature of this top-notch spirit.
I very much appreciated the shifting nose and the way the cognac, once in place, stays on its frame and identity.
As warm as ever, fruity notes of mango, orange juice, more sour fruits like passion fruit, red berries and apple are all part of a darker profile in which cocoa powder, licorice, roasted coffee and nutmeg take center stage [...alongside...] walnut, leather, vanilla, black tea and delicate honey to bind it all together.
The alcohol is exceptionally well-integrated, delivering a velvety smooth experience.
But then, how much for this little gem? A comparable cognac can normally be found for between 400 and 500€.
To give you the best value for money, we're offering it at 360€ in 70cl.
And to make this bottle even more accessible, we're making it available at the unbeatable launch price of 245€.
Who said Christmas shopping had to be expensive :)
