The Whisky Library has always stocked a rich selection of brandies besides whisky— including Cognac, Armagnac, apple brandy, and even Italian Grappa.
When we find a brandy we love, we buy the whole cask to create our Library Exclusive Collection.
This time, we introduce our Cognac Quartet—Dessert Series IV.
French Cognac is divided into six regions based on soil and geology: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, Bois Ordinaires.
The most famous is, of course, Grande Champagne.
But other regions also have their own unique highlights.
For elaborate, the Dessert Series hails from Ile d’Oleron in the Bois Ordinaires region.
Bois Ordinaires only make up 1% of Cognac production. Located by the Atlantic, it has a distinct maritime style.
Typically, it features sea breeze, sea salt, and mineral notes—unique and rare.
This is a Hong Kong exclusive with only 196 bottles produced, which are bottled by the renowned Cognac bottler Jean Grosperrin.
