Description

Presumably a 1920s and hence extremely old version of Frapin Extra Cognac.

"The seal on the neck is broken, the upper part remaining, ...ullen, 19..B.G. St Michel (Mikkeli) Finland. At my 50years day, 20 years ago, my late friend, the grandson of KF, gave me this bottle as a present. It has been stored in my cellar in the dark. I think some collector should have it, instead of me drinking it.. "

In Finland the "Prohibition"( no selling of alcohol) was during 1919-1932. The bottle was purchised either before or after that period.

The Alko(state monopoly of selling alcohol) was founded 1932, at the same time when the prohobition ended ( 5.4.1932). At that date there would have been no need for permission of the police departement of St. Michel to buy the Frapin bottle.

It has been stored in a cool, dark place, in my house in the basement. The temperature about 15 degrees Celsius. Shaken a few times a year.

Private Seller Finland. Stored In a dry place. In a cellar. Up-right standing. Everythings seems fine. All duties paid.

About Frapin Cognac

The Frapin family has been around the Southwest of France since 1270. Always active in the domain of winegrowing, they specialized in distillation much later on and have since continued to stand strong throughout twenty one generations! The estate owns 340 hectares of land entirely in the Grande Champagne area, of which 240 are planted with vines. Frapin’s home in the beautiful castle Fontpinot in the town of Segonzac. The most famous family member was the 16th century author Francois Rabelais, after whom a prestigious Frapin Cognac bottle is named: The Cuvee Rabelais, rather fittingly, the house of Frapin is also the only Cognac estate granted permission to call itself a Chateau within the entire Grande Champagne cru. Alongside many other accolades, Frapin was the first Cognac producer to invent a multi-vintage blend, combining vintages of different years to create the perfect taste.
