Meukow Cognac
As the name suggests, the founders of Meukow cognac originated from Russia. In 1862 two brothers were sent over to France to supply the Tsar with cognac and decided to start their own cognac distillery. Today, Meukow, with the famous puma logo, ranks among the most well-known cognac brands in the world. Its qualities are strength, elegance, sensuality and exotism, the character traits of the puma. The distillery is housed in Matha in Charente Maritime.

It does have a smooth taste & was going like hot cakes so it's definitely not discontinued.
These cognacs are discontinued. So save whatever you have and sell later. I have 3 bottles of XO from 10 years ago.
I would like to know where can i sell my A.C Meukow & Co Cognac bottle.
