Frapin 40yr Grande Champagne Cognac - 1979

There are many, many reasons why Cognac has maintained a reputation as perhaps the pinnacle in aged spirits for centuries and across generations of drinkers. Some of that history and reputation may have been lost of late but contemporary imbibers are rediscovery the hidden in plain sight virtues of great brandy. If any expression could make you a believer, it is this extraordinary release from the cellars of one of the top domaines based in the heart of Cognac. Produced entirely from their own vines from the 1979 vintage and distilled and aged in sight, un-blended in a dry cellar for 40 years prior to bottling. Elegant, refined, nuanced, complex and sublime - this Cognac has it all. Only 180 bottles of this rare nectar were bottled. Worth every penny.
