Description

Courvoisier Avant-Garde Bourbon Cask

This expression from the House of Courvoisier is a tribute to craftsmen coming together to create a new and exceptional, yet distinctly smooth while bold, spirit. A spirit made from Cognac that has undergone a second maturation in Bourbon barrels and a finish in American Bourbon casks. It is thanks to this blend of eaux-de-vie and expert aging, that a delicate bouquet and excellent balance of oak and exotic flavors are born. Boasting a warming elegance, its soft, velvety finish will leave you reeling for more.

A first of its kind by an excellent maison, with help of local artisans and winegrowers in Courvoisier’s hometown of Jarnac, an innovation that is sure to appeal to spirits lovers worldwide. A limited-edition, with unique flair, this is an exceptional selection to try if you’re looking for something that delights the tastebuds and stands out from your usual choice.

Presentation of the bottle

The 40% ABV bottling was created by Courvoisier’s master blender, Patrice Pinet, and master distiller Benoît Desutter. A true expression of all that the Courvoisier house represents, its sleek, sophisticated style immediately captures attention. A bold, black label complemented with gold and red type conveys a unique expression that beautifully represents this limited, first-of-its-kind liquid. Certainly, one that will stand out in a cabinet, or sit boldly at the center of a dining table.

How to enjoy

With a beautifully balanced delicacy and exotic flavor, this spirit is best enjoyed neat to offer its wonderful essence space to develop.

About Courvoisier Cognac

Courvoisier is amongst the four leading Cognac houses in the world - also known as the 'Big Four'. Legend has it that the emperor Napoléon himself chose Courvoisier as his preferred Cognac, therefore Courvoisier brandy is often referred to as “The Cognac of Napoleon”. The company dates back to 1828 and since has its headquarters in the town of Jarnac. With prestigious bottles such as Courvoisier Napoléon or Josephine, the Cognac house is at the top of the luxury spirits market. The Courvoisier VS, VSOP, and Rose Liqueur are also very popular. The drink is strongly ingrained in US Hip Hop culture with Busta Rhymes and P Diddy dedicating the song “Pass the Courvoisier” to the traditional brand.
