Grand Marnier Liqueur

Grand Marnier was created in France in the 1880s by Louis-Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle, inspired by the traditional curaçao liqueur made from bitter orange peel. His own version, a blend of cognac and bitter orange, quickly became a luxury liqueur finding its way into desserts, cocktails and digestifs the world over. This is a bottle that still carries the original recipe's ambition of lifting a simple orange flavour into something entirely refined.

    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.

    Named after the man behind Grand Marnier himself - Cuvée Louis-Alexandre is the house's driest and most cognac-forward expression, known for its striking blue and silver label.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Grand Marnier Cuvée Louis-Alexandre is a French cognac liqueur from Grand Marnier, a variation on the classic Cordon Rouge, bottled at 40% ABV.

    The liqueur is named after Louis-Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle, the original creator of Grand Marnier, and was launched in 2000. The blend consists of 82% VSOP cognac and 18% orange liqueur, using older cognacs than in Cordon Rouge - typically 12 to 15-year-old eaux-de-vie from five different cognac regions. This makes Cuvée Louis-Alexandre a drier, more cognac-forward expression, clearly distinguished from the classic red Grand Marnier by its blue and silver label.

    Smag

    The colour is warm amber with tints of copper and orange. The aroma offers candied orange with nuances of citrus zest and bergamot essence, while the taste of candied orange and macerated citrus fruit is tempered by notes of pine and Earl Grey tea - a considerably drier and more complex profile than the classic Cordon Rouge.

    Expert's Description

    Grand Marnier Révélation Grande Cuvée is a French cognac and orange liqueur at 40% ABV, in which the house elevates its classic blend using XXO cognac with a touch of orange essence.

    Taste

    The nose is rich and inviting with an intense bouquet of dried fruits such as fig and apricot, combined with toasted almonds, walnuts and subtle hints of cocoa and vanilla. The palate is deep and complex, where ripe orange opens the experience and is immediately balanced by the elegant, powerful notes of the cognac, with hints of caramel, toffee and spice. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant warmth and a sweet, fruity finale.
