Chateau de Montifaud 150th Anniversario 50 cl.
The taste of this 150th anniversary Cognac is hard to compare with other Cognacs. The unique thing is that there are elements from both completely fresh distillate, as well as the very tertiary aromas from a very old Cognac. The result is that there is nice immediate pure citrus fruit, then there are elements of dried fruit like figs and apricots from the medium-aged distillates. At the end of the taste, the very old notes of cigar box, leather and wet tobacco develop. A blast of a taste experience that is hard to compare to anything else. To mark how unique this anniversary cognac is, only 1866 bottles have been produced for sale - a reference to Chateau Montifaud's first vintage, which was produced in the year 1866. A completely unique Cognac where Laurent Vallet shows his family great honor by putting together this unique blend. As far as is known, this is the first time that a Cognac of this type has been produced and it will probably also be the only time. Château Montifaud celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2016 and Laurent Vallet has chosen to combine Cognac from each of the 6 generations that have been at the castle. The house was founded in 1866 by Augustin Vallet, who was succeeded by Pierre, Maurice, Louis, Michel and now Laurent. Exactly this Cognac is combined with distillates from resp. 1847, 1870, 1998, 1967, 1990 and 2005. Each element is selected from the dishes in the "paradise" cellar at Montifaud, as well as from a few older bottles. Then mixed and tapped on 1866 numbered 50 cl. Bottles. A unique product that should be enjoyed with respect.
