When you've tasted success sitting on top of the world of Rap music, your appetite will undoubtedly lead you into the world of fine Spirits. Billionaire rapper's love for Cognac was already well-professed when D’USSE's Maître de Chai, Michel Casavecchia, surprised part-owner Jay-Z with the Cognac to celebrate his 50th birthday in 2019.

Now, this one-of-a-kind 1969 Anniversaire Limited Edition release is finally available to everyone with a taste for good Yak (and good music). It's a stellar Grande Champagne Cognac, bottled from a single barrel and matured in the centuries-old cellar of Château de Cognac. Rich notes of fresh walnut, hazelnut, and candied apple hit the nose, while the mouth reveals potent woody notes and a long finale of leather and cigar box.

Only 200 12-cut crystal diamond decanters were made available, packaged in a luxury leather box adorned with high-end accents and a booklet featuring a description of the unique liquid by its creator.

The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
There are three different qualities of Cognac recognized by law: V.S. (very special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and X.O. (Extra Old).
Cognac is a form of distilled Brandy. For a spirit to be labeled Cognac, it must be made from specified grapes, of which Ugni Blanc is the one most widely used. It must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais.
Believe it or not, the French aren’t all that fond of Cognac. In fact, they export nearly 90% of their production.
There are three primary grades of Cognac recognized by law: V.S., V.S.O.P., and X.O, but we also know Napoléon, XXO, and Hors d'âge.
Rancio is a highly desirable nutty flavor usually found in extra-aged fortified wines (Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala …) and fruit-based Spirits, namely Cognacs, Calvados, and Armagnac. It appears in Cognac after roughly 10 years of maturing in oak casks, becoming more intense over the years.
