Hailing from the Charente region of France, this historical Cognac reflects the traditions established by Courvoisier, a house favoured by the French imperial court. Distilled in 1882, it presents an ABV of approximately 40%. This rare expression has matured for over 140 years, resulting in a complex profile that includes rancio, dried Mission Figs, and honeyed tobacco. The mouthfeel is both weightless and intense, leading to a persistent finish. This spirit encapsulates the craftsmanship and heritage of Courvoisier, illustrating the potential for depth and aromatic finesse through long-term maturation in high-quality oak. A remarkable representation of 19th-century distilling practices.

Courvoisier
An Historic House
Established in the early 1800s by Emmanuel Courvoisier, who was born in 1789 in Jarnac, in the heart of the Cognac region in south-west France. Courvoisier sources eaux-de-vie from the following crus to create their blends - Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fin Bois. Distillation takes place between November and March - the spirit is double-distilled in Charentais alembic copper pot stills before barrel ageing takes place in Tronçais oak.
Alongside a core range than extends from VS to XO, Courvoisier has issued a number of limited editions and special releases, including a notable collaboration with Russian-born artist Erté.
