Pierre Ferrand Cognac is made with only Grande Champagne grapes, and the unfiltered wine is distilled over lees in small, 25-hectoliter copper-pot stills. Finally, the spirit is carefully aged in small Limousin oak casks and blended into its final expression. Though the oak lends structure and interest to their spirits, the high-quality fruit remains at the forefront. Pierre Ferrand Selection des Anges is an average of 30 years old. A deep mahogany, this exceptional cognac displays concentrated aromas of vanilla, mocha, black tea, walnut, and violet. The full-bodied palate brings yet more complexity with candied citrus, saffron, ginger, honey, clove, licorice, and cedar. This is a truly special spirit.
