A luxury Cognac here from Courvoisier, created from a blend of over 100 exceptionally rare eaux-de-vies from Grand Champagne and Borderies, some of which date back to the beginning of the 20th Century. The blend is also complemented by younger Cognacs that bring vibrancy and fruity notes. This edition was bottled for the Lunar New Year, with Courvoisier celebrating the Year of the Dragon with decorative packaging including a deep red box featuring a signature teardrop-shape that mirrors the bottle. On it, there's a traditional interpretation of the dragon by Chinese painter and artist, Jiannan Huang.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Richly coloured and glowing with a fine glimmering copper hue, this complex expression opens with exquisite notes of sandalwood and cigar leaves with the subtle perfume of early summer blossom, followed by toffee, marzipan and fresh honey. The sweet sophistication and smouldering intensity of each sip develops to bring surprisingly delicate notes of liquorice, dried plum and apricot building to a decadent and lingering finish.
