About this bottle

This bottling was created both as a celebration of the 2023 Chinese New Year and of the 10 generations of the Ferrand family that have passed down their knowledge of viticulture and distillation through the generations. The first main branch of Ferrands had the first name of Elie and the male descendants carried on the Elie name for 10 generations. It was Elie VIII who went to Porto in 1872 for the first (of many) times. He experimented with different cask finishes including port and this bottling is a nod to that. Beginning with 100% ugni blanc grapes, this cognac first matured in French oak casks before double maturing in port wine casks. It's bottled at 88 proof — 8 being a lucky number in China. Only 12,000 bottles of this cognac are available beginning December 2022. (SRP $64.99)

GoodSpiritsNews 4.5

Quite oak forward at first, quickly followed by a satisfying grape essence, and a touch of sweet Port at the tail end. A rich, woody Cognac full of baking spice, and light caramel character. We like the higher proof which adds more body and energy to the spirit, and makes it ideal for either enjoying in a snifter or for use in upscale cocktails. Try it in a French 75 for an extra boost of flavor. Best to grab a few bottles while you can since this is a limited edition.
