  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Did You Know?

  Did you know the casks for Renault Avec are submerged in water and then roasted over open brasero fire three separate times, a technique developed specifically to draw out mocha and vanilla character so the Cognac can hold its own against coffee?

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense grape sweetness and warm oak, with a powerful alcohol weight that underlines the cask strength.

  Palate

  Full and concentrated, with dried fruit, caramel and a distinct warmth from the 62%.

  Finish

  Long and intense, with a lingering wood and spice note.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
