Distillerie Tessendier & Fils

Distillerie Tessendier & Fils was founded in 1950 and today is run by brothers Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier, master blender and cellar master. Together they oversee a brand that creates its own lines of Cognac and more, as well as sourcing and ageing rum. To make the Cognac, Distillerie Tessendier & Fils grows its own grapes, experiments with fermentation techniques, ages its spirits in locally sourced barrels, and bottles on-site. The brand uses six pot stills and owns 14 cellars located locally, with a stock capacity of 12 million litres, including 20,000 French oak barrels. Below is a great range of Cognacs, which includes the traditional VS to more innovative creations like mizunara-finished expressions. There’s also Saison Rum which boasts traditional rums (pale, original, reserve, and XO) to cask finished options and blends including triple cask Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad.
