Grand Marnier Quintessence Grande Cuvee 750mL
Description
Grand Marnier Quintessence — the house's grande cuvée, built on rare cognacs from the family's private Paradis cellar.
The pinnacle of Maison Marnier-Lapostolle: ultra-rare XO cognacs — some aged decades in the family's Paradis reserve at Château de Bourg — married with double-distilled bitter orange essence. Hand-finished in a crystal decanter, Quintessence is among the rarest expressions of the house, produced in tiny quantities for collectors and grand occasions.
Tasting Notes
Candied orange and saffron over profound old cognac — rancio, walnut, dark honey, and cigar box; an extraordinarily long, layered finish.
