Nose: Fresh apricot and ripe peach dominate, backed by subtle vanilla and oak. Hints of orange zest and honey add complexity. A faint nuttiness emerges with time.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Dried fruit flavors take center stage - think raisins and figs. Caramel and toasted almond notes provide depth. Spicy undertones of cinnamon and white pepper add warmth. A touch of citrus brightens the mix.
Finish: Long and satisfying. Oak tannins become more pronounced, balancing lingering fruit sweetness. Gentle warmth spreads across the palate. Subtle floral notes and a whisper of dark chocolate appear at the very end.
Pierre Ferrand Original Formula 1840 Cognac is crafted using traditional 19th-century methods, including distillation in small copper pot stills and aging in Limousin oak barrels. What sets this cognac apart is its unique "double maturation" process, where the spirit spends time in both humid and dry cellars, resulting in a complex flavor profile that captures the essence of classic cognacs from the 1800s.
