Perhaps more than any other spirit, cognac can take the process of maturation in its stride. Decades pass in a gentle slumber for some special distillates with them able to withstand the long years and go on to develop layers of mature flavour, while still keeping an amazing vitality.
Producers like A.E Dor and Grosperrin are able to release cognacs that were distilled in the mid 20th century and even earlier and this masterclass is a rare chance to explore their cellars and discover some of these gems.
The Line Up
-
A rare Cognac, limited to the contents of a few large glass demijohns discovered by AE Dor in a small cellar of a property in Grande Champagnes. Number 10 was matured in casks until it reached 41.5% abv and was then transferred into the demijohns, where it has sat since 1965. A very limited release.
