Vecchia Romagna Riserva Tre Botti Italian Brandy 70 cl 40.8%

Item no.: 22223-0377

In the old cellars of Bologna, where Vecchia Romagna has been ageing its brandies since 1820, one bottle brings together three different cask types in a single blend. Riserva Tre Botti isn't just another Italian brandy – it's the house's signature method, distilled into a single glass.
Expert Description
Vecchia Romagna Riserva Tre Botti is an Italian Brandy aged in French oak barriques, large Slovenian oak casks and casks that previously held Italian red wine, bottled at 40.8%. The brandy is distilled from Trebbiano grapes using a method that combines continuous column distillation with discontinuous Charentais pot still distillation, and it carries the name Vecchia Romagna – "the old Romagna" – used by the house since 1939. The story goes back further still: the distillery was founded in 1820 by the French émigré Jean Buton, whose family had produced spirits in France until the fall of Napoleon. In Bologna, he built his own distillery and laid the foundation for what is today Italy's best-selling brandy. Since 1999, the house has belonged to Gruppo Montenegro.
What makes Tre Botti special is exactly the three casks in its name. The small French barriques give structure and a distinct woody character. The large Slovenian oak casks soften the brandy and give it a rounder body. And the casks from Italian red wine production add the brandy's signature fruitiness and velvety softness. Spirits aged up to 15 years go into the blend, and the result is a brandy that brings power and gentleness together at once – a familiar profile for anyone who knows the house's wider Riserva range, but with a character entirely its own.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried fruit and roasted hazelnuts meet sweet notes of cinnamon and tropical fruit, with a hint of apricot in the background.
Palate
Soft and rounded, with caramel, vanilla and raisins up front, backed by roasted hazelnut and a spiced kick of cinnamon and clove.
Finish
Long and full, with candied apricot, orange peel, honey and spiced oak that fade into dark chocolate and a final note of freshly brewed coffee.

Did You Know?
Vecchia Romagna was originally called "Cognac Buton" – Jean Buton simply called his brandy cognac, as was common practice outside France at the time. It wasn't until 1939, when protection of the term "Cognac" was enforced more strictly internationally, that the house had to find a new name and settled on Vecchia Romagna, the same year the triangular bottle was introduced.

Remy Martin Miniature 1738 Accord Royal French Cognac 5 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-75-2

Five centilitres is enough to get acquainted, without committing to a full bottle. Inside the small bottle sits the same plum marmalade and toffee found in its bigger sibling, just packed down to pocket size.
Expert's Description
Remy Martin Miniature 1738 Accord Royal is a French Cognac of the Fine Champagne category, bottled at 40% in a 5 CL bottle.
The miniature holds exactly the same liquid as the full-size Accord Royal bottle: a blend of at least 60% eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne and the rest from Petite Champagne, all from Remy Martin, the house that has brewed exclusively Fine Champagne Cognac since 1724.
The format makes it well suited for tasting your way in, bringing along on travels, or lining up alongside other miniatures for a small tasting at home. Nothing about the experience is diluted, only the quantity differs.
Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard from the chalky soil of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne give it the same round, creamy character as the full-size bottle, just in a dose that is easy to share or enjoy alone.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Plum and fig marmalade appear alongside toffee and a hint of toasted bread, just as in the full-size bottle.
Palate
Creamy caramel and baked spice fill the mouth, with a touch of dark chocolate showing up toward the end.
Finish
The finish is short but warm, with caramel as the lasting impression.

Poli Arzente Italiano Brandy 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-110

Once, the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio suggested Italianising the French word Cognac into something more native: Acquarzente, later shortened to Arzente. Poli embraced the name and built a brandy that insists on being Italian down to the last detail, from the grape to the final year in oak.
Expert's Description
Poli Arzente Italiano Brandy is an Italian Brandy from the Jacopo Poli distillery, bottled at 40%.
Behind the bottle stands the Poli family, who have distilled in Schiavon near Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto since 1898, one of Italy's most respected regions for grape distillates. Across four generations the family has kept faith with an old copper alembic, one of the few of its kind still in use, giving the distillates their characteristic balance of power and elegance.
Arzente is made from 100% Trebbiano grapes and sets itself apart from the house's better-known grappa by being a grape brandy in the Cognac style rather than a pomace distillate. The name Arzente comes from an old Italian term that, according to tradition, dates back to the time of Catherine de' Medici, when a similar distillate was used as a fortifying drink.
The brandy is aged for a full ten years, spread across French Limousin casks, French Allier oak and Slovenian oak, a combination that gives it the layered depth the house is known for.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla, warm spice and dried fruit, with an underlying sweetness from the years spent in oak.
Palate
Round and elegant, with a pleasant warmth and a ripe, grape-driven sweetness that stays balanced without turning heavy.
Finish
Long, with a final trace of spiced wood and a gentle, lingering warmth.

Gourry de Chadeville V.S.O.P. 400 anniversaire 1er Cru de Cognac 35 cl 40%

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.

Vecchia Romagna Etichetta Nera Italian Brandy 70 cl 38%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0344

When the French expatriate Jean Buton settled in Bologna in 1820 and set up an experimental distillery, he could hardly have imagined that his triangular bottle would one day become the very symbol of Italian brandy.
Expert's Description
Vecchia Romagna Etichetta Nera is an Italian Brandy distilled from Trebbiano grapes, bottled at 38%.
Buton's experimental distillery grew in 1830 into Distilleria G. Buton & C., described by the house itself as Italy's first steam-powered distillery. The name Vecchia Romagna only arrived in 1939, the same year the distinctive triangular bottle and the Bacchus label were introduced, and both remain the house's trademarks today.
The brandy is distilled from Trebbiano grapes and aged in oak through a double distillation process that gives it a character clearly distinct from both French and Spanish brandy.
Since 1999 the house has been part of the Montenegro spirits group, but production still takes place in the Emilia-Romagna region, where it all began.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried fruit, vanilla and toasted oak, with a hint of almond and caramel.
Palate
Soft and harmonious, with classic notes of vanilla, nuts, light smoke and a mild spiced warmth.
Finish
Long, dry and elegant, with a trace of oak and caramelised fruit.

WV Baker & Cie 2023 Rare Brandy 15 years old Single Cask 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0198

Benjamin Baker flew fighter jets for the British Royal Air Force before trading the cockpit for cellars full of old casks in 2012. Today he and his wife Marie hunt down rare single casks, often from undisclosed distilleries, and bottle them under the name WV Baker & Cie.
Expert's Description
WV Baker & Cie 2023 Rare Brandy is a Single Cask Spanish Brandy, bottled at 40%.
While WV Baker & Cie is primarily known as an independent cognac bottler with roots in Fins Bois, the house has also specialised in tracking down distinctive single casks beyond France – including this Spanish brandy, one of the house's more unusual releases made in collaboration with the Danish spirits merchant Juul's.
The cask, named Single Cask N. 932, aged 15 years and was bottled in 2023, yielding exactly 510 bottles – a number that underlines just how limited and cask-specific this release is.
As a single-cask bottling, the brandy is not adjusted or blended with other casks, giving a clean, unaltered view of exactly what this cask gave the spirit over 15 years.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried figs and spiced wood, with a deep, almost raisin-like sweetness.
Palate
Full and concentrated, with notes of dark caramel, walnut and a warm, Spanish wood character.

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.
Tasting Notes
Nose
White flowers and citrus peel, with a light honeyed sweetness.
Palate
Fresh and light, with notes of pear, citrus and a touch of almond.

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

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.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe red berries and honey, with a light nutty undertone.
Palate
Sweet and fruity, with raspberry and blackcurrant, balanced by a light acidity.

Tonow Vesterhavsmost Danish Santana Brandy 50 cl 42%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0045

Close to the North Sea, where the light and soil are made for apples, Vesterhavsmost presses fresh must from single-variety apples – and from the same orchard the TONOW distillery makes a brandy that was named Danish Distillery of the Year in 2022.
Expert's Description
Tonow Santana Brandy is a Danish Brandy distilled by Vesterhavsmost, bottled at 42%.
Vesterhavsmost's philosophy is simple: only single-variety, freshly picked apples in season, grown close to the North Sea, where the climate, soil and light are, according to the producer, ideal for fruit growing. 99% of the apple harvest goes into cider must, while a smaller share is passed on to the TONOW distillery, which turns the fruit into brandy.
This Santana edition won a silver medal and stands as a clear example of what a small Danish distillery can achieve when the fruit and the craft come from the same field.
Nothing from the must production is wasted – the leftover pulp is dried and used for bread and muesli, underlining the resource-conscious thinking behind the whole production.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh apples and a light honeyed sweetness, with a hint of flowers.
Palate
Clean and fruity, with an acidic edge that keeps the sweetness in check.
Finish
Short to medium, refreshing and lightly spiced.

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.

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.

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.
Tasting Notes

A lightly exotic aroma of dried fruit, mocha and vanilla.

Full-bodied and nicely rounded, with warm spice tones from the different cask types.

Renault Avec French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279847

Some Cognac is made to sit with alone, and some is made to share with a cup of coffee. Renault Avec was built for the latter: a Cognac whose cask has been steamed and roasted over open fire until its mocha and vanilla notes are strong enough to meet coffee's bitterness without losing ground.
Expert's Description
Renault Avec French Cognac is a Cognac from the house of Renault, bottled at 40%.
The name Avec, French for "together with", tells you exactly what the bottle is made for: a Cognac designed to be taken alongside a cup of coffee after a meal, a tradition still very much alive in many French homes. To get there, Renault developed a distinctive cask technique in which the oak is first submerged in water and then roasted over an open brasero fire, not once, but three times.
The repeated roasting draws out mocha and vanilla character in the wood that ordinary cask ageing does not, and the result is a Cognac with a softness and roundness built to sit beside an espresso without being drowned out.
The house behind the bottle, Renault, was founded in 1835 in the town of Cognac by Jean-Antonin Renault and was known early on as an innovator, bottling in glass rather than the traditional casks and exporting to Scandinavia as early as 1855.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Roasted mocha, sweet vanilla and a light smoky trace from the triple brasero-roasted casks.
Palate
Round and soft, with coffee bean, caramel and a warm, faintly sweet echo of toasted wood.
Finish
Mild and gentle, with vanilla and a touch of dark chocolate that lingers on the palate well after the last sip.

Metaxa 7 Stars Greek Brandy 70 cl 40%

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.
Palate
Round and soft, with dark honey, toasted almonds and a gentle spiced warmth that spreads slowly.

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.
Finish
Long and warm, closing on a dry, lightly bitter trail of dark spice.

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.
Finish
Short to medium, mildly sweet, closing with a gentle spiced warmth.

Did You Know?
The stars on a Metaxa label do not mark years of ageing the way whisky age statements do – they instead show the share of older eaux-de-vie in the final blend, a system Spyros Metaxas himself introduced so the house could control style without being tied to a single vintage year.

Segonzac Premium French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278310

Not every cognac needs a year or a classification to tell its story. Sometimes it is enough to know which soil the grapes grew in – and here we are talking about Grande Champagne itself.
Expert's Description
Segonzac Premium is a French Cognac from Grande Champagne, bottled at 40%.
The Pierre de Segonzac cognac house has roots back to 1702, when ancestor Jacques Ferrand distilled his first harvest at the Biard estate. Today the house is run on eleven generations of experience and nearly 10 hectares of its own vineyards in the very village of Segonzac, the heart of Grande Champagne 1er Cru.
Segonzac Premium is the house's entry point into the range – a cognac distilled on the house's own property with the same traditional Charentais copper stills and the same hand-guided "bonne chauffe" technique used for its more aged bottlings.
The result is an approachable yet characterful cognac, where the finesse of Grande Champagne's chalky soil can still be traced.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh grapes and light vanilla, with a hint of flowers.
Palate
Round and light, with notes of white fruit and a mild wood tone.
Finish
Short, clean and lightly sweet.

Daniel Bouju Selection Special French Cognac 35 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197138

In Saint-Preuil, in the heart of Grande Champagne, the Bouju family still runs their small distillery, bottling cognac in accessible sizes without compromising on craft. This 35 cl bottle is a small, concentrated taste of the house.
Expert's Description
Daniel Bouju Sélection Spécial is a French Cognac from Grande Champagne, aged in new Limousin oak casks and bottled at 40%.
The house of Daniel Bouju is a small family business founded in 1805 in Saint-Preuil, holding 25 hectares of vineyards at the very heart of the Cognac region. Production still takes place in the original farmhouse, where the cognac is distilled on a 16.5-hectolitre still.
Sélection Spécial is made exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes and carries the house's signature: a dark, refined character with no added caramel colouring, its flavour drawn purely from natural cask ageing.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose blends oak ageing with floral notes and a hint of vanilla.

Sample 3 cl Daniel Bouju VSOP Carafe / Decanter French Cognac 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-20136

In Saint-Preuil, in the heart of Grande Champagne, the Bouju family has grown its own grapes and distilled its own cognac since 1805. This sample is an invitation to meet one of the smaller, more stubbornly artisanal cognac houses in the district.
Expert's Description
Sample 3 cl Daniel Bouju VSOP is a French Cognac from Grande Champagne, bottled at 40%.
The house was founded by Pierre Chauvin and his wife Jeanne in 1805, shortly after they settled in Saint-Preuil with only a few hectares of land and vines. Seven generations later, Daniel Bouju remains a true grower-producer – a house that distils only grapes from its own 30 hectares, unlike the large merchant houses that buy in from hundreds of growers.
The cognac is distilled exclusively from Ugni Blanc and aged in Limousin oak, and the house uses neither colouring nor boisé to adjust colour or flavour – what is in the glass comes from the grape, the soil and the cask alone.
The bottle's distinctive carafe shape holds a VSOP that has rested at least 4 years in cask, presenting a calm, grounded expression of Grande Champagne's finesse.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Flowers and fresh grapes, with a light vanilla tone from the young Limousin oak.
Palate
Soft and direct, with notes of white fruit and a fine acidity that speaks of the unaltered Ugni Blanc base wine.
Finish
Short to medium, clean and lightly spiced.

Remy Martin VSOP Red Label French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865491-vsop

Somewhere in the world right now, a Remy Martin VSOP is being poured. It happens more often than most would guess, since this is the VSOP most people reach for when the glass calls for copper-toned Cognac and the scent of vanilla and red roses.
Expert's Description
Remy Martin VSOP Red Label is a French VSOP Cognac of the Fine Champagne category, bottled at 40%, with an average age of around 8 years.
The blend is composed of at least 60% eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, the rest from Petite Champagne, using grapes mainly Ugni Blanc supplemented by Folle Blanche and Colombard from the house's chalky soils.
Remy Martin was founded in 1724 and has held ever since to using only Fine Champagne Cognac across its range. VSOP Red Label is the bottle through which most people meet the house, and it is often used as a benchmark when professionals assess other VSOP cognacs against one another.
The colour is dark copper with a golden sheen, a sign of the time the liquid has spent in Limousin oak casks, where the soft vanilla and nutty notes are drawn from.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers vanilla, nuts, violets and roses, with a fine hint of liquorice and spiced Limousin oak underneath.
Palate
The palate is fruity with apricot and peach leading, softly rounded off by sweet vanilla.
Finish
The finish is medium-length and classically balanced, where vanilla and a hint of nuts are the last things to remain.

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.

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

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
Fresh fruit and white flowers, with a touch of vanilla from the short cask ageing.

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.

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.

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.

Skærsøgaard 2007 Cask Strength Danish Brandy 35 cl 62%

Item no.: 22227865491-1102

On the slopes at Dons, near Kolding, Sven Moesgaard planted his first 4,000 vines in 1998. What began as Denmark's first authorised vineyard has since made room for something far rarer in a Danish context: a brandy distilled from its own grapes and bottled at full cask strength.
Expert's Description
Skærsøgaard 2007 Cask Strength is a Danish Brandy distilled from Danish grapes, bottled at 62%.
In 2000, Skærsøgaard Vin became the first Danish vineyard with EU approval, and since 2006 it has, alongside wine, also produced its own spirits and fruit wines across its 5.5 hectares. This brandy comes from the 2007 vintage and is distilled from Skærsøgaard's own grapes, grown in the long Jutland summer light which, according to the vineyard, gives the grapes a slow, aromatic ripening.
The spirit has matured for 8 years in oak casks and is bottled without dilution, at full cask strength – a style that shows the distillate completely unfiltered, with all the intensity it has built up in the cask.
As a Limited Edition, this 2007 vintage offers a rare glimpse of what Danish terroir can produce when distilled rather than turned into wine.

Did You Know?
Skærsøgaard was the first Danish vineyard to receive EU approval for commercial wine production in 2000, and has since also made its mark with spirits distilled from its own grapes – something very few Danish producers can say about themselves.
