The Last Drop
Hors d'Age Grande Champagne Cognac
(0.75l,
41.1%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
It's 1947, post-war France. A nameless distiller decided to celebrate life and new beginnings (we presume) and made a barrel of Cognac. Decades passed while the cherished Spirit matured patiently, forgotten, not caring about the world changing outside.
The lost cask was discovered in the 21st century by the Last Drop Team in the Charente region. Turns out that the eau-de-vie was created by a family that's been making Cognac since 1727. The invaluable dram is said to be unimaginably complex yet fresh and delicious—rich like summer flowers. It's a unique slice of history and worth a king's ransom if you're a collector. We're in awe.

The French believe it or not, aren’t actually all that fond of Cognac. They export almost 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.
The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
Laws concerning Cognac-making are strict as hell. Only three types of grapes may be used, and they can only be harvested in October; Cognac must be aged for at least two years in barrels made from French oak - and get this, from one of two specific forests! Then, the stills must be of a particular French shape (no, not the baguette shape); and we guess La Marseillaise has to be sung during the entire process.
Believe it or not, the French aren’t all that fond of Cognac. In fact, they export nearly 90% of their production.
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.
