Asbach 3 years old German Brandy 70 cl 38%

Item no.: 22227865479-1406

In Rüdesheim am Rhein, where the Rhine winds past steep vineyards, Asbach has distilled brandy since 1892. This 3 year old expression is the house's most accessible release, yet it carries the same craft roots as the older bottlings.
Expert's Description
Asbach Original 3 Year Old is a German Brandy, matured for at least 3 years, bottled at 38%.
The house of Asbach was founded in 1892 by Hugo Asbach in Rüdesheim am Rhein, and it was the first German distillery to produce brandy following the French model. The Asbach name has since become so closely tied to German brandy that many Germans use it as a generic term for the category.
The brandy is distilled from selected wine and then matured in French Limousin oak casks, which lend spiced warmth and depth even after just a few years on wood.
The short but careful maturation makes this 3 year old edition a more direct and fruit-forward experience than the house's older bottlings, suiting both everyday enjoyment and a first introduction to German brandy.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe apples, gentle vanilla and a hint of spiced oak.
Palate
Round and fruity with soft notes of raisin and caramel, lifted by a touch of pepper from the cask.
Finish
Short to medium, with warm spice and a final dry wood note.

Asbach 8 years old German Brandy 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-26

Eight years on oak is a long time for a German brandy, and it shows: Asbach 8 Year Old is a rounder, more contemplative take on the house's classic style, from the same Rüdesheim distillery that set the German brandy standard back in 1892.
Expert's Description
Asbach 8 Year Old is a German Brandy, matured for up to 8 years, bottled at 40%.
The brandy is produced by the respected Asbach distillery in Rüdesheim am Rhein, known since 1892 for quality brandy made in the French tradition. This 8 year old edition represents a more mature and complex version of the house's core style.
Distilled from wine and matured in small oak casks, the brandy gains a round, full character, while its natural colour and lack of chill-filtration underline an authentic, unadulterated expression.
With a medium body and balanced sweetness, the 8 year old edition appeals to both newcomers and seasoned brandy lovers seeking more depth than the house's younger bottlings.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Apple, apricot and a hint of coconut, supported by red grape.
Palate
Full and round with a clear presence of oak and a soft, ripe sweetness.
Finish
Medium length, with warm spice and a final dry wood note, without any smoke.

Bache Gabrielsen VSOP Triple Cask French Cognac 100 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280325

In 1903, the young Norwegian lieutenant Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen left the army and travelled to the town of Cognac to learn the craft from the ground up. Two years later he took over an old Cognac house together with a fellow countryman, and the Bache-Gabrielsen family has run it ever since, generation after generation.
Expert's Description
Bache Gabrielsen VSOP Triple Cask is a French Cognac, bottled at 40%.
The house of Bache Gabrielsen was founded in 1905 in the town of Cognac by the Norwegian Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen, who fell in love with both the region and his future wife when he arrived in France to learn the wine and spirits trade. Today the house is run by his great-grandson Hervé Bache-Gabrielsen, and its Cognac remains the best-selling in Norway.
The Triple Cask expression is blended from eaux-de-vie matured in three different cask types, giving a broader flavour palette than a VSOP aged in a single cask type. Balancing three cask profiles so they reinforce rather than overwhelm each other takes a trained hand.
As a VSOP, the Cognac is at least 4 years old, but it is the interplay between the casks that sets it apart from the house's other VSOP releases.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Mature wood, vanilla and dried fruit meet apricot kernel and hazelnut.
Palate
Fruity and elegant, with notes of banana and a hint of oriental spice.
Finish
Medium length, with soft sweetness and a closing, lightly nutty dryness.

Braastad VSOP House Tiffon French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-1204

The story of Braastad does not begin in a distillery, but at a wedding. In 1913, the Norwegian immigrant Sverre Braastad married Edith Rousseau, granddaughter of the founder of the Cognac house Tiffon, giving rise to a name that has since bridged the Charente river between two families.
Expert's Description
Braastad VSOP House Tiffon is a French Cognac, bottled at 40%.
The Cognac house Tiffon was founded in 1875 by Mederic Tiffon in the town of Jarnac, on the banks of the Charente. When the Norwegian Sverre Braastad took over the family business in 1919 following his wife's family, the Braastad name became Tiffon's bridge to the Norwegian market, where it has enjoyed great standing ever since.
This VSOP is blended from carefully selected eaux-de-vie matured for at least 4 years in French oak casks. The relatively long maturation gives the Cognac a golden colour and a rich, rounded flavour profile.
Braastad VSOP represents the classic, approachable style that has made the house a steady favourite for Cognac lovers seeking depth without the complexity that an XO demands patience to explore.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe fruit and vanilla meet a light touch of nuts.
Palate
Rich and round, with spice and a soft, golden sweetness.

Medium length and harmonious, with a final warm wood note.

Braastad XO House Tiffon French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-20018

Three times, Braastad XO Fine has won silver at one of the world's most respected spirits competitions in London, an achievement that takes more than good grapes. It takes a blender willing to wait until the right casks are ready.
Expert's Description
Braastad XO House Tiffon is a French Cognac, bottled at 40%.
The XO classification requires the Cognac to be a blend from Grande and Petite Champagne, with at least half originating from Grande Champagne, the district's finest cru. Braastad XO is blended from some of the house's oldest and most carefully selected eaux-de-vie, a tradition dating back to the Tiffon house's founding in Jarnac in 1875.
Compared with the house's VSOP, the XO is far more complex, since the longer time on oak has allowed the eaux-de-vie to develop deeper, more spiced and wood-driven nuances.
Braastad XO Fine has won silver on several occasions at The International Wine and Spirit Competition in London, underlining the house's consistent quality well beyond its Norwegian home market.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Deep, ripe fruit meets spiced oak and a hint of dried apricot.
Palate
Full and well-balanced, with notes of caramel, nuts and a touch of rancio.
Finish
Long and warm, with lingering spice and a soft, wood-driven close.

Carlos I Solera Gran Reserva Sherry Cask Spanish Brandy de Jerez 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-8115

Where Imperial XO draws its depth from casks that have rested for decades, Solera Gran Reserva is a more youthful, yet still sherry-driven expression from the same house, where the aroma of the former sherry casks remains clear in the glass.
Expert's Description
Carlos I Solera Gran Reserva Sherry Cask is a Spanish Brandy de Jerez, bottled at 40%.
Like the rest of the house's brandy, Carlos I Solera Gran Reserva is produced by Osborne, founded in 1772 in El Puerto de Santa María, and is traditionally distilled using alquitaras, pot stills of Arab origin.
Maturation follows the same dynamic criaderas y soleras system as the rest of the range, but here the casks average around 10 years old, giving a fresher, more sherry-forward style than the much older Imperial XO.
The shorter ageing means the character from the former sherry casks is more prominent, while the brandy's own sweetness and spice keep the balance.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla and liquorice sit close to a clear sherry tone.
Palate
Soft and light on the palate, with a pleasant roundness where the sherry's dryness meets the brandy's sweetness.
Finish
Short to medium, with a final, dry sherry note.

Chateau de Laubade AOP - Bas Armagnac Signature 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865493-100

In 1974, Jean-Jacques Lesgourgues bought a crumbling château in Gascony with one clear plan: to restore an Armagnac estate to its former greatness. Signature is the house's youngest, most direct expression, where the grape itself, more than the cask, sets the tone.
Expert's Description
Chateau de Laubade AOP Bas Armagnac Signature is a French Bas-Armagnac, bottled at 42%.
Château de Laubade has made Armagnac since the early 1700s and was already granted Château Appellation Contrôlée status in 1855. After a long period of decline, Jean-Jacques Lesgourgues bought the crumbling château in 1974 and restored it to what is today one of the largest and most respected estates in the entire Armagnac region.
Signature has matured for only two years on cask, meaning the grape itself, rather than the wood, comes through most clearly. This youthful style makes it particularly well suited to food, including matured cheeses, white meat and fish.
Château de Laubade also runs its own cooperage, where the finest Gascony oak is air-dried for at least three years before being built into barrels, a rarity among Armagnac producers that underlines the house's craft ambition.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh grape, plum and a light, green freshness.
Palate
Clean and full, with a clear fruit character and only a faint touch of oak.
Finish
Short to medium, with a fresh, dry close.

Cognac VS de Pradiere French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 505956-498796-453-1

In Petite Champagne, where the chalky soil gives Ugni Blanc grapes their fine acidity, the Cognac house Lhéraud bottles a small series under the name De Pradiere. Cognac VS de Pradiere is the youngest of them, a bright introduction to the terroir's character.
Expert's Description
Cognac VS de Pradiere is a French Cognac from Petite Champagne, aged in oak casks for a minimum of 3 years and bottled at 40%.
The De Pradiere range comes from the Cognac house Lhéraud, which has distilled in the region since the early 1800s, though for many years it mostly sold its cognac on to other houses rather than bottling under its own name.
The VS quality is the house's youngest expression, made exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in Petite Champagne, and it still carries a touch of the freshness that defines a young cognac, while the oak ageing has rounded out its edges.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers raisin and dried apricot with a light touch of oak in the background.
Palate
The palate is dry and crisp, as expected from a VS cognac, with citrus fruit and a hint of orange peel that slowly unfolds.
Finish
The finish lands softly with vanilla and a touch of spice that lingers for a while.

Courvoisier VS French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-37

On the banks of the Charente river in Jarnac, cognac has been distilled under the name Courvoisier since 1809. The house tied its name to Napoleon early on, and the story of the emperor's fondness for the cognac still follows the bottle today.
Expert's Description
Courvoisier VS is a French Cognac, a blend aged between 4 and 8 years in oak casks and bottled at 40%.
Courvoisier was founded in 1809 in Jarnac on the Charente river and ranks among the great, classic Cognac houses. The story of the house's close ties to Napoleon Bonaparte has become part of its identity, and the name still carries the nickname the emperor's favourite cognac.
The VS quality is blended from grapes grown in the two cru-certified areas of Fins Bois and Petite Champagne, giving it its complex, fruity character with remarkable body and depth.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose is fruity and floral with light notes of oak.

Di Vino Brandy Italiano Di Poli 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279959

In Schiavon near Bassano del Grappa, in the heart of Veneto, the Poli family has distilled since 1898. This brandy is the house's take on what happens when grappa craftsmanship turns its attention to wine instead of pomace.
Expert's Description
Brandy Italiano Di Poli is an Italian Brandy, bottled at 40%.
The distillery was founded in 1898 by GioBatta Poli, who started with a mobile still and produced grappa from local pomace for the region's winemakers. Today the house is run by the fourth generation, siblings Jacopo, Andrea and Barbara Poli, who still distil on an old copper alembic.
This brandy is made from wine of the Trebbiano grape from the Soave area, setting it apart from the house's well-known grappas, which are distilled from pomace. The spirit is aged for a full 10 years, partly in Slovenian oak casks and partly in French Allier and Limousin casks.
The long, varied cask ageing gives the brandy an aristocratic warmth and a dark glow that sets it apart from many younger Italian brandies.

Drouet Pineau des Charentes Vintage Rose Altar Wine 75 cl 17.5%

Item no.: 22227865478

Legend has it that a winemaker in Cognac once poured fresh grape juice into a cask that still held cognac by mistake. He left the cask forgotten in a dark corner - and months later found an entirely new drink. That is how Pineau des Charentes was born, and Drouet's rosé carries that same story forward.
Expert's Description
Drouet Pineau des Charentes Vintage Rose is a French Pineau des Charentes, bottled at 17.5%.
Pineau des Charentes may only be produced in Charente-Maritime in southwest France, centred on the town of Cognac, and gained the right to carry the designation of original appellation in 1935. The drink is made by adding 3/4 fresh grape must to 1/4 cognac, after which the blend matures for at least a year in oak casks.
This rosé is made from the grapes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which together give a sweeter and slightly bolder style than the white version, with a fruit character that makes it well suited both as a communion wine and with dessert-style dishes.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers a lovely bouquet of fruit and plum.

Gautier VS French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-10241

By the river Osme in Aigre, where an eighteenth-century watermill still houses the cellars, the house of Gautier has distilled Cognac since Louis XV signed its royal charter in 1755. VS is the house's youngest voice, quick and fruity, yet built on the same craft as its older bottlings.
Expert's Description
Gautier VS French Cognac is a Cognac drawn mainly from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, bottled at 40%.
The house of Gautier is one of the oldest in Cognac, founded in 1755 in the old watermill on the river Osme. As early as the sixteenth century, the Gautier family had made a name for itself as skilled coopers, crafting casks from oak sourced in the famous Tronçais forest, and that grounding in wood and cask still shapes the house's identity.
VS is built from the grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard, sourced mainly from Grande Champagne with a share from Petite Champagne. It is the house's youngest expression, and precisely for that reason the one that shows the freshness of the fruit most clearly, before longer cask ageing adds further depth.
Gautier VS is built for versatility, just as natural neat over ice as it is as the backbone of a well-mixed Cognac cocktail, where its fruit and floral character carries through clearly.
Tasting Notes
Nose

Gautier VSOP French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-10242

It takes longer than most people think for a young eau-de-vie to earn the name VSOP. At Gautier, inside the old watermill on the Osme, the blend is given the time it needs until the colour turns warm and golden and the aroma matures.
Expert's Description
Gautier VSOP French Cognac is a Cognac, a blend of fine eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, bottled at 40%.
The house of Gautier, founded in 1755 under a royal charter from Louis XV, has carried a family tradition of coopering with Tronçais oak since the sixteenth century. That knowledge of wood and ageing lives on in the house's VSOP, where eaux-de-vie of several ages are blended into a rounded Cognac.
The grapes, mainly Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard, come from Grande Champagne with a share from Petite Champagne, and the VSOP classification requires at least four and a half years in cask for the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend.
The result is a robust, full-bodied Cognac with a warm, golden colour, showing what extra time in cask can add compared with the house's younger VS.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe plums and caramel, backed by a warm, lightly spiced oak aroma.
Palate
Full and rounded, with notes of dried apricot, honey and a touch of nutmeg.

Gilles Brisson Grande Champagne VS 1er Cru de French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-74

Even the house's youngest bottling carries the Brisson signature: nothing from any land but the family's own 75 hectares in Grande Champagne. VS is the entry point to the house, made with the same care as the older bottlings.
Expert's Description
Gilles Brisson Grande Champagne VS is a 1er Cru French Cognac from 100% Grande Champagne, at least 4 years old, bottled at 40%.
The Brisson family has run its estate in Châteaubernard for five generations, with all 75 hectares planted for Grande Champagne Cognac. VS is the house's youngest bottling, but since all the fruit comes from the same land as the older releases, it shows a surprising softness and fullness for its age.
It is a Cognac that proves an entry-level bottling need not compromise on where the grapes come from, a philosophy that sets Brisson apart from many of the larger trading houses.

At Brisson, no Cognac under seven years old ever goes into the house VSOP, nearly double what the rules require. It is a small decision with a big effect on how soft and rounded the glass ends up tasting.
Expert's Description
Gilles Brisson Grande Champagne VSOP is a 1er Cru French Cognac from 100% Grande Champagne, at least 7 years old, bottled at 40%.
The Brisson family has run its estate in Châteaubernard for five generations and lets no eau-de-vie under seven years enter the VSOP, well beyond the EU minimum of four and a half years. The result is a delicate, harmonious blend where the character of different vintages melts together.
With a bouquet of vanilla and a delicate body, the VSOP shows how a little extra time in cask can give a Cognac elegance without giving up the freshness of Grande Champagne.

Gourry de Chadeville Pineau des Charentes Blanc Cognac 75 cl 17%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0131

Not all the grape juice from Gourry's land in Grande Champagne ends up as Cognac. Some of it is stopped along the way, fortified with the house's own spirit, and turned into something paler and lighter, a golden Pineau des Charentes with citrus and white flowers in the glass.
Expert's Description
Gourry de Chadeville Pineau des Charentes Blanc is a French Pineau des Charentes made from fresh grape juice and Cognac from Gourry de Chadeville, bottled at 17%.
At Gourry de Chadeville, the world's oldest Cognac house, founded in 1619 and still family-owned through fifteen generations, the house's own Cognac is used to stop the fermentation of fresh grape must. The Blanc bottling keeps a pale, golden colour and a light, fresh character clearly distinct from its rosé sibling.
The result is an aperitif with notes of white flowers, citrus and a hint of honey, made to accompany shellfish and light starters just as naturally as it can be enjoyed on its own.

Before a grape becomes Cognac, it can also become something else entirely. In Segonzac, on the same land the Gourry family has farmed since 1619, fermentation of fresh grape must is halted with a splash of the house's own Cognac, and the result is a sweet, rosé-coloured aperitif.
Expert's Description
Gourry de Chadeville Pineau des Charentes Rosé is a French Pineau des Charentes made from fresh grape juice and Cognac from Gourry de Chadeville, bottled at 17%.
Pineau des Charentes is a vin de liqueur, where fermentation of fresh grape must is stopped by adding Cognac, preserving the grape's natural sweetness while the spirit contributes strength and character. Gourry de Chadeville, the world's oldest Cognac house, founded in 1619 in Grande Champagne, uses its own Cognac for the purpose, giving the rosé a depth not found in every Pineau des Charentes.
The colour is a deep rosé, and the flavour carries red berries, honey and a hint of nuts, a combination that makes it just as fitting as an aperitif as it is alongside dessert.

Item no.: 059763-615-1060

In Segonzac, at the heart of Grande Champagne, the Gourry de Chadeville family has distilled cognac on the same land since 1619. Fifteen generations have passed, the old copper still is unchanged, and the distillation still follows the same rhythm it did four centuries ago.
Expert's Description
Gourry de Chadeville VSOP 400 Anniversaire 1er Cru de Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, bottled at 40%.
This edition marks the house's 400th anniversary and is made entirely from grapes grown on the estate's own Premier Cru terroir — a rarity in the cognac world, where most houses buy in grapes or distillate from multiple growers. Gourry de Chadeville is considered one of the oldest still-active cognac houses, with the family running the estate in Segonzac across 15 unbroken generations.
Distillation follows the traditional Charente method in two stages: first comes the "brouillis," an initial distillate at 28-32% alcohol. That is distilled a second time in a process called "la bonne chauffe," where the head and tail are cut away and only the heart — "le cœur" — is kept for further ageing in oak.
Once matured, the cognac is bottled at 40%, ready to be enjoyed as a classic VSOP with roots stretching back to the 1600s.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla and dried roses arrive first, followed by a sweetness reminiscent of apricot jam.
Palate
Round and soft, with walnut and a warm spiced note of cinnamon that drifts into a touch of liquorice.
Finish
Long and mellow, where the spice lingers longest and leaves a dry, nutty close.

Hennessy VS French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-7001

In 1765, an Irish officer named Richard Hennessy settled in the town of Cognac and founded a trading house that has since become the best-selling Cognac name on the planet. VS is where most people meet Hennessy for the first time.
Expert's Description
Hennessy VS French Cognac is a Cognac, a blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fine Bois, bottled at 40%.
Hennessy was founded in 1765 and is today the world's best-selling Cognac house, known for blending eaux-de-vie from several of Cognac's six districts into a consistent, recognisable style. VS, Very Special, is the house's youngest classification and requires at least two years of ageing, but Hennessy's cellar masters routinely draw on older vintages to give the blend extra depth.
That makes VS a Cognac that is both easy to reach for and still carries a clear imprint of the craft that has made Hennessy the name most people associate with Cognac in general.

Martell VS Single Distillery French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-41

In Cognac, where the Charente river winds through chalky soil, the Martell family has been distilling since 1715. It is the oldest of the great Cognac houses, and the VS edition is where most people first meet the house style: young, fresh and built on the same blend that has carried the name for more than 300 years.
Expert's Description
Martell VS Single Distillery is a French Cognac classified VS, bottled at 40%.
Martell was founded in 1715 by Jean Martell and is the oldest of the great Cognac houses. From the start, the house has made the Borderies cru its signature, a small, distinctive area near the town of Cognac that gives its eaux-de-vie a softness and a floral aroma rarely found elsewhere. The VS edition is built on the same blend of eaux-de-vie the founder created, aged on average 5 to 7 years in cask.
The designation VS, Very Special, is Cognac's youngest legal classification, and Martell's version is intended as an accessible, versatile Cognac that works equally well neat, on ice or in a cocktail. The high share of Borderies adds complexity without sacrificing drinkability.
The casks are made from the fine-grained Tronçais oak that Martell traditionally favours, because it releases its character slowly and gently into the spirit during ageing.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh and spicy, with citrus, ripe pear and a touch of saffron, framed by soft, resinous notes and a hint of incense.
Palate
Wood and spice notes come together in harmony with a pleasant freshness and a velvety texture.
Finish
The finish is medium in length and lightly spiced, with a clean, dry close shaped by the fine Tronçais oak.

Metaxa 12 Stars Greek Brandy 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865449-2021-06-0012

There are bottles you open on an ordinary Tuesday, and there are bottles you save for the right occasion. Metaxa 12 Stars belongs to the latter – the house's deepest, most complex expression, kept back for the evenings that deserve a little more.
Expert's Description
Metaxa 12 Stars is a Greek brandy built on aged grape eaux-de-vie and sweet muscat wines, bottled at 40%.
12 Stars sits at the top of Metaxa's star hierarchy and carries the largest share of older eaux-de-vie in the entire range. The base recipe remains the same one Spyros Metaxas put together in Piraeus in 1888: grape eaux-de-vie from several varieties, aged muscat wines from Samos and Lemnos, and a secret mix of Mediterranean botanicals.
Where 5 and 7 Stars are made for everyday moments and gatherings, 12 Stars is traditionally the bottle Greeks bring out at holidays and family celebrations – a gesture that the occasion deserves the house's most concentrated expression.
After Spyros Metaxas died in 1909, his wife Despina carried the company forward until their sons could take over, and today the house is owned by French group Rémy Cointreau. The recipe and the long ageing behind 12 Stars, however, remain unchanged.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Deep and complex, with dried fig, dark chocolate and a warm, almost resinous spice base.
Palate
Full and silky, with toasted walnut, brown sugar and a hint of orange marmalade tying it all together.

Metaxa 5 Stars Greek Brandy 70 cl 38%

Item no.: 22227865449-2021-06-0005

Dusk settles over the port of Piraeus, where the scent of roasted nuts and ripe grapes drifts through the tavernas, and the glass on the counter rarely stays empty for long. Metaxa 5 Stars is the bottle reached for first when the evening begins – light, golden, and carrying a trace of Mediterranean warmth.
Expert's Description
Metaxa 5 Stars is a Greek brandy built on aged grape eaux-de-vie and sweet muscat wines, bottled at 38%.
Strictly speaking, Metaxa is not a pure brandy but the house's own invention: a blend of grape eaux-de-vie distilled from grapes including Savatiano, Sultana and black Corinth, combined with aged, sweet muscat wines from the islands of Samos and Lemnos and a secret mix of Mediterranean botanicals. The recipe dates back to 1888, when Spyros Metaxas founded his house in the port city of Piraeus, and the herbal blend remains a closely guarded secret to this day.
5 Stars sits at the entry point of Metaxa's star hierarchy and carries the youngest share of eaux-de-vie in the range. The stars do not signal age the way a vintage year would – instead they indicate how large a proportion of older distillate goes into the blend, and the more stars, the deeper and rounder the character becomes.
Today Metaxa is part of the French spirits house Rémy Cointreau, though production still takes place in Greece, where distillate and muscat wine are brought together following the same base recipe as more than a century ago.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh grapes and a touch of honey meet a hint of orange peel and light spice – inviting and light rather than heavy.
Palate
Soft and round, with ripe grapes, caramelised sugar and a faint herbal note that adds depth without taking over.

Item no.: 22227865449-2021-06-0007

A dark amphora rests heavy in the hand, as though pulled straight from an ancient shipwreck in the Aegean Sea. Behind the glass waits Metaxa 7 Stars, deeper and rounder than its younger sibling, ready to tell its own part of the story from the port of Piraeus.
Expert's Description
Metaxa 7 Stars is a Greek brandy built on aged grape eaux-de-vie and sweet muscat wines, bottled at 40%.
Like the rest of the family, 7 Stars is not a pure brandy but a blend of grape eaux-de-vie made from grapes including Savatiano and Sultana, aged muscat wines from Samos and Lemnos, and a secret herbal mix – a recipe Spyros Metaxas developed in Piraeus in 1888 and one the house still follows today.
The iconic amphora design many associate with this particular bottle was created by Greek designer Yiannis Tseklenis and draws on the ancient clay vessels once used to carry wine and oil across the Mediterranean. The shape has become one of the most recognisable features of the entire Metaxa family.
With seven stars, the bottle sits in the middle of the house hierarchy and carries a larger share of older eaux-de-vie than 5 Stars, giving it a rounder, fuller character without losing the freshness the house is known for.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried apricot and raisin meet a warm caramel note and a hint of muscat – fuller than the younger expression.

Pierre Ferrand 10 Generations 1er Cru de French Cognac 50 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865491-8023

Before a cask ever touches cognac, it is met by fire. The cooper controls the flame by eye and experience, because the toasting level of the oak decides how much spice, toasted character and intensity the cask will later give to whatever ages inside it.
Expert's Description
Pierre Ferrand 10 Generations 1er Cru de Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, bottled at 46%.
This bottling of 10 Generations is composed at a slightly higher strength than its 44% sister, leaving room for a more pronounced cask influence in the flavour. Toasting the oak, a technique where the cooper heats the inside of the cask over open flame, largely determines how much spice and how dark the tones the cognac picks up during ageing.
The 1er Cru de Cognac designation guarantees that the grapes come exclusively from Grande Champagne, the most celebrated of Cognac's six districts, and the name 10 Generations points to the long line of winegrowers and distillers whose experience still shapes the house's style today.
The result is a cognac that is a touch more powerful and spiced than its 44% sister, without losing the round, approachable character that defines the range.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The aroma is spiced with notes of toasted oak and a dark sweetness reminiscent of caramel, supported by dried fruit.
Palate
The palate is warm and full, with a clear spice character and a dry, toasted oak note that carries more tension than the younger profile.
Finish
The finish is long and warm, where caramel and toasted oak remain longest on the palate.
