Godet Antarctica Cognac

A one-of-a-kind sipper in honor of a world record.

The story of Godet Cognacs is really, really long. We’ll try not to bore you too much wih every detail possible as you can imagine a thing or two has happened in the 4 centuries (add or take a couple of decades) since the story started in 1588. It was then that a Dutch merchant Bonaventure Godet founded a salt and Wine business in the harbour of La Rochelle on the western coast of France. Godet was one of the first traders of the “Dutch burnt wine” — the name under which Cognac was known back in the day. Over the years, the craft and taste have been refined, but Godet Freres Cognac remains 100% family-owned today when it is run by the 15th generation of Godet family

Godet Antarctica is a crystal clear Spirit that was crafted to honor breaking a world record. In 2008, Jean Jacques Godet ventured on a sailing trip to Antarctica with his small yacht and they docked at 70 degrees south of the equator: a first for such a small yacht. (It's probably still bigger than most of our yachts, but still, impressive.) Obviously, a celebration was in order and Godet Antarctica was created. A unique Eaux-de-Vie, it was inspired by the pristine beauty of the white continent. Aged in 100YO French oak casks, it contains zero tannins. Think tender, voluptuous, and delicate.
