Ferrand 10 Generations Cognac

The robust 92 proof makes it a powerhouse in classic cocktails. Its best application is as the base spirit in a French 75, an Old Fashioned, or a classic Sazerac. Because of its lush Sauternes finish, it is also highly rewarding when sipped neat or over a single large ice cube.

Nose: Rich and elegant with aromas of baked pear, sweet honey, vanilla bean, and delicate vine blossoms.

Palate: Opulent and round. Flavors of baked apple, apricot, and white grape mingle seamlessly with cinnamon, nutmeg, and roasted almond.

Finish: Lingering and fresh, leaving satisfying notes of dried fruit, sweet wine, and a very subtle hint of fresh mint.

This expression is made exclusively from Grande Champagne grapes. The wine is double distilled slowly on the lees in traditional Charentais copper pot stills to capture maximum flavor. The resulting spirit is aged in classic French oak barrels, but uniquely, 20% of the final blend is matured in sweet Sauternes wine casks to impart a lush and honeyed texture.

• The name honors the uninterrupted lineage of the Ferrand family, starting with Elie Ferrand in 1630.
• The intricate label art features a detailed family tree tracing all ten generations of the Ferrand legacy.
• Bottling at 46% ABV is highly unconventional for Cognac, which is traditionally proofed down to 40%. Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel chose this higher proof specifically to elevate the fruit and spice notes.
