Description

A very rare, aged cognac from Ile d’Oléron. These old cognacs are very uncommon, about 30 times rarer than an old Grande Champagne (if we refer to the stocks available in the whole appellation). This sandy terroir, exposed to the spray of the Atlantic Ocean, benefits from the influence of the Gulf Stream and enjoys an almost Mediterranean sunshine. It is home to plants rarely found on the coast, such as mimosa and tamarisk, giving it the nickname of “the island of herbs”.

Old gold hue, amber highlights. On the nose, one is struck by the salinity and the expression of this soil and this climate, with the flavours of the French wild coast, warm sand dunes on a summer’s day, and soft spices. In mouth, tender, soft, with a velvety structure due to a long ageing in a humid cellar located on the island, a few hundred yards away from the Ocean. Iodine finish and silky tannins. This cognac gives a real pleasure: generous, heartwarming, and extremely rare.

This is a special bottling for The Whisky Library by Jean Grosperrin, without adding water, sugar and artificial colouring, limited production of 60 bottles only.
