Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre Liqueur 70 cl Cordon Jaune 40%

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.
