A.E. Dor 1987 Vintage Fins Bois Cognac

An Adventure with A.E Dor: The 1987 Fins Bois Cognac

Many collectors are aware of AE Dor’s cultural standing in the world of Cognac, and their importance as a distiller in the Jarnac region of Grande Champagne. Established in 1858, the passion has been passed down through the family, earning them the nickname as the “Antiquaire du Cognac”. This particular 1987 Fins Bois Cognac is a delightful embodiment of the most intense, glorious flavors that are produced by the Fins Bois region, all the while representing the heritage and history of the famous A.E Dor maison.

The company is renowned for its extremely wide range of vintages thanks to Amedée Eduard Dor’s hard work, hunting for the best and oldest Cognacs of the region throughout the late 1800s. A.E Dor is most famous for its aging cellar, nicknamed “Le Paradis”, where some of its oldest Cognacs are stored in wax-sealed demijohns, a true paradise for any Cognac connoisseur.

This family of master blenders is known for their unique collections, which include beautifully presented decanters and vintages as old as 1840! What makes this Cognac so special is not only its provenance from one particular cru - but also its single vintage made exclusively with eaux-de-vie distilled in 1987. This high-end blend has spent over 30 years aging in humid cellars. A must-have product for any discerning Cognac drinker.

A.E Dor’s Cognacs are often sought after because of the maturation process they go through. Left in French limousin oak barrels with a capacity of up to 500 liters, they are aged in a cellar that has been selected for its particular level of humidity, which many believe is the secret to the blender’s high quality products. The Cognac holds a floral and fruit bouquet, typical of A.E Dor’s blends.

It has a refined and elegant quality and is fresh with notes of cinnamon, ginger and white pepper. Light hints of almond and pear punctuate these strong, spicy flavors.
