Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge French liqueur 70 cl 40%

Cognac meets bitter orange in a bottle that has defined what a French orange liqueur can be since 1880 - Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is the classic itself.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is a French orange liqueur uniting cognac with distilled bitter orange essence, bottled at 40% ABV.

The liqueur was created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle as the first of its kind to unite cognac and bitter orange. Grand Marnier is still made today according to the original recipe, blending fine cognacs with the essence of bitter orange peel, which gives the liqueur its characteristic red bottle and the name Cordon Rouge ("red ribbon").

Smag

The aroma is rich with distinct orange notes complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and oak from the mature cognacs. The taste opens with an intense, fresh, bitter orange character followed by the cognac's warm, deep tones, while a full, silky texture with underlying notes of hazelnut and caramel gives a long, lingering finish.
