We have recently added two new, exciting releases to our Hermitage Cognac stable, both distilled over 50 years ago.
The 1975 comes from the region near St Preuil, in central Grande Champagne.
An enchanting cognac, it has flavours of clove, turmeric and blackberry complemented by thyme, rosemary, pork crackle with white truffle and kumquats on the tail.
Less than a barrel of this fine, rare cognac exists.
The 1972 vintage comes from Petite Champagne where it has been mellowing in its oak cask for almost 40 years and although its strength is 45% abv, it has a sublime balance.
Petite Champagne cognacs are often lighter than cognacs from their neighbour, Grande Champagne.
This is particularly true in the east of the cru, from where this 1972 originates.
