Malternative Belgium Cognac No. 22 Jean Fillioux
Introducing the Malternative Belgium Cognac N° 22 - an exceptional collaboration between Jean Fillioux and Malternative Belgium that brings you a truly exclusive experience. Limited to just 378 bottles, this Cognac is the result of being in the right place at the right time during a visit to the esteemed Jean Fillioux distillery in early 2023.
Picture this: Pascal and Christophe, the masterminds behind Jean Fillioux, had just selected some outstanding casks that were deemed bottle-ripe. Malternative had the privilege of being present in their cellar, tasting these liquid treasures that left them in awe and humbled by their exceptional quality. Amongst them, the lot 60/70 shone as the true highlight of the afternoon. Little did they know that our friends in Norway, absolute connoisseurs of the house, had also set their sights on this cask. Luckily, they graciously allowed Malternative to have their share, securing 120 bottles and leaving enough for all of us. Cheers to trust and mutual respect!
Out of a total cask yield of 498 bottles, Malternative Belgium proudly received 378 bottles, great news that we're excited to share with you. The lot 60/70 is a carefully curated blend primarily consisting of spirits from the '60s, with a touch of the '70s added about 20 years ago, most likely for logistical reasons. This perfectly aged Grande Champagne Cognac underwent a natural reduction, resulting in an alcohol content of 43.1%. It's wonderfully quaffable, making it a delight to drink, while also offering a captivating complexity.
Prepare for an extraordinary sensory journey. With each sip, you'll be greeted by a symphony of flavors. Imagine tropical fruits, luscious acacia honey, succulent apricot, refreshing menthol, ripe white plums, and the vibrant zest of oranges dancing on your palate. Those fortunate enough to have tasted it described it as the perfect summer spirit - a liquid embodiment of sunshine and joy.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the Jean Fillioux cognac house, a family business that has been crafting exceptional spirits since 1880. Nestled in the golden triangle of the grande champagne, their domain, La Pouyade, stretches over 50 hectares of vineyards in the heart of this prestigious region. As you journey towards Segonzac, you'll witness the domain majestically rising above the landscape, a captivating sight that sets the stage for the magic within.
The Fillioux family not only embraces tradition and quality but also holds deep respect for nature. Preservation and protection of the local fauna and flora are at the core of their values. In 2015, Pascal Fillioux passed the torch to his son Christophe, who brings fresh ideas and drives growth and innovation. Together, they uphold the family legacy, with Pascal keeping a watchful eye on maintaining the traditions that define their spirits. It's a perfect blend of tradition, family, and quality.
The Malternative Belgium Cognac N° 22 is an extraordinary expression of craftsmanship, collaboration, and exclusivity. With its limited availability and the remarkable flavors it holds, this Cognac is a true treasure for spirits enthusiasts and collectors alike. Be part of this exceptional experience and savor the essence of Jean Fillioux and Malternative Belgium in every sip. Cheers to embracing the extraordinary and to the magic that happens when exceptional minds join forces!
