Reserve Cognac

Pierre Ferrand Description

Long ago, in the 19th century, Cognac producers such as Elie Ferrand (8th generation) used a variety of casks to create a fascinating range of taste and complexity. Reviving this forgotten tradition, Ferrand Réserve is first aged in classic Cognac barrels and further matured in Banyuls barrels. This ancient technique creates a one-of-a-kind cognac that highlights the myriad nuances of the legendary “Rancio Charentais” with aromas of nuts, prune, and spice. Complex and meditative, it is the perfect sipping Cognac.

Brilliant amber color. Dense aroma of dried lilacs, honeyed nuts, suede, and sweet baking spices follow through on a soft, silky entry to a fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body with ripe poached pear, dried apple, and cinnamon notes coming to the fore. Finishes with a long, spicy floral honey, mineral and nut accented. A super smooth, highly polished XO that drinks effortlessly.
