    Expert description

    Cointreau L'Unique is a French Fruit liqueur based on sweet and bitter orange peels, bottled at 40%.

    The story of Cointreau began in 1849, when brothers Adolphe and Édouard-Jean Cointreau founded their confectionery and distillery in Angers. It was Édouard Cointreau, son of Édouard-Jean, who in 1875 perfected the recipe for a new kind of orange liqueur, more concentrated in flavour and less sweet than the curaçaos of the time. He called it Triple Sec, and the iconic square, amber-coloured bottle quickly became a fixture in bars around the world. Cointreau L'Unique is distilled from a blend of sweet and bitter orange peels on a neutral sugar beet spirit base.

    Taste

    The nose is clean and intensely orange. On the palate, Cointreau L'Unique is bright and lively with a clear, concentrated orange flavour, while the finish is dry and refreshing without excessive sweetness.

    Expert's description

    Cointreau Miniature is a French orange liqueur from Cointreau, made from sweet and bitter orange peel, at 40% alcohol.

    Cointreau was founded in 1849 by Edouard Cointreau in Angers, France, and the recipe has remained largely unchanged ever since. Compared with many other orange liqueurs (triple sec), Cointreau has a lower sugar content and a stronger, more concentrated orange flavour, which has made it a staple behind the bar in classics such as the Margarita and Cosmopolitan.

    Taste

    The taste is dry and intense with orange, with a hint of sweetness and a light bitterness from the peel, giving a clean, crisp finish.

  • Dark bottle of French orange liqueur with cognac
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19511

    Dark, rich and enigmatic - Cointreau Noir is the orange liqueur's answer to an after-dinner spirit, where cognac and orange peel meet in a bottle that breaks with the classic white Cointreau expression.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Cointreau Noir is a French orange liqueur from Cointreau uniting distilled essence of sweet and bitter orange peels with cognac from the house's own Rémy Martin, bottled at 40% ABV.

    The liqueur is composed of around 70% classic Cointreau orange liqueur and 30% cognac, which is then macerated with walnuts and almonds, adding a deep, nutty roundness. The result is a darker, drier take on the familiar Cointreau, built to be enjoyed as a spirit in its own right rather than just a cocktail ingredient.

    Smag

    The aroma offers orange peel, vanilla and honey, while the taste opens intense and fresh with bitter orange marmalade, giving way to the cognac's warmth and a light, leathery nutty character from walnuts and almonds. Saffron spice and a full, silky finish round off the liqueur.
