Did you know? – Grappa & Eaux-de-Vie
Grappa & eaux-de-vie primarily serve as “digestifs”, or after-dinner
drinks, in theory to aid digestion. Grappa is a spirit from Italy made
of grape pomace brandy, pomace being the solid remains of grapes
after pressing for juice, notably in the wine-making process. Eauxde vie-are fruit brandies in general and can be produced across the
world. German Schnaps, French Poire Williamine, French Calvados
are some examples of eaux-de-vie.
Often the work of very small producers and not easily available
outside their region of origin, good grappas and eaux-de-vie are often
the pride of spirits aficionados and collectors across the world.

GRAPPA
Did you know? – About Romano Levi
In the land of big Italian red wines – Piemonte – also lies one of the
most mythical grappa distillery: the Levi Serafino Distillery.
Romano Levi was an orphan who lived a reclusive life in Neive,
Piemonte where he dedicated his life to grappa, and to watching the
sunset every single evening! He meticulously produced very few
bottles every year (the rumour speaks about less than 300 bottles a
year) in a very traditional manner.
Romano Levi personally painted by hand each and every label for
his bottles. His stick characters like "la donna selvatica" (the "wild
woman") became symbolic of the Levi grappa.
1
The Levi grappa was of high quality and scarce, and not easy to
get hold of! Rumor has it that Romano Levi denied giving bottles to
sport celebrities or food and wine legends, when they showed up at
his door.
Romano Levi sadly passed away in 2008. Today, the Levi distillery
is still in operations but Romano had no children and grappa
connoisseurs all agree Romano’s legacy has long gone. Today, the
labels are photocopied and colored in.
An artisan and an artist, Romano Levi is widely remembered as The
Grappa Legend. Each bottle pre 2008 is one of a kind and have become
collectors’ pieces, to be proudly taken out at the end of a great dinner
with friends.

Did you know? – Morand’s Williamine
Williamine® is a trademark of the Swiss distillery Morand. It has gained the status of a cult. It is said that, the same way cognacs or whiskes have
a preferred native soil, the best pear eaux-de-vie come from the Valais, a region in Switzerland in which the most well-known Swiss touristic
landmark the Matterhorn is located. Undoubtedly, the Williamine has a distinctive fragrance so evocative of the Valais region in Switzerland, the
one and the natural wonders of its alpine landscape.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
Did you know? - About Trinidad’s Caroni rums
In the 18th century, the Caroni Sugar Factory was the largest and most productive holding in Trinidad. In 1918 the Caroni distillery was established,
dealing with the distillation and bottling of rum and became quickly renowned throughout the world for producing one of the finest heavy rums,
receiving high praise from the British Navy.
In 2000s though, the closing of the nearby state owned sugar refinery resulted in the gradual decline of the Trinidad sugarcane production and it
was only a matter of time before the Caroni distillery was shut down shortly after. With the last few bottles still available in the market survives
the legend of Caroni.

Did you know? – The ‘Lost’ Distilleries
In the 1800's there were close to three hundred distilleries in
Scotland. Like any other industry, however, the category saw a huge
consolidation process over time, with socio and economic factors
leading to regular mergers and closures.
The poor socio-economic climate of the inter-war period in Europe,
combined to a lesser extent to the prohibition era in the USA, saw
close to 70 distilleries closing or remaining silent for decades. In the
80’s again, sales of whisky drastically dropped, inevitably causing a
new wave of about 25 distilleries closing.
The stock of few of these closed distilleries was sold to collectors or
independent bottlers, which has made it possible to still find some
stock available today, mostly for the delight of whisky aficionados and
collectors.
It is very difficult, however, to know how much stock from each of
these “lost distilleries” is still out there, and in fact, the rumour has
it that the stock levels are now very low and hence, whisky experts
expect that most of these distilleries will disappear within the next 4-5
years... this time for good!
Most of the single malts in this section may never be seen again. They
are whiskies from another era; some are from distilleries no longer
in operation, others from distilleries that no longer exist. They offer
whisky aficionados & collectors an exclusive opportunity to own a
little piece of Scotland´s liquid history.

Did you know? - Brora
Established in 1819, Brora was initially known as Clynelish. Enjoying
immense popularity from its inception, it wasn’t used in the production
of blended scotch on the contrary to most other malts back then, but
was sold instead only to private customers!
Following two periods of silence in 1931-38 and 1941-45, the demand
finally went up again post WWII, notably driven by very high orders
from blenders. A second Clynelish distillery was opened, under the
same name, this time to produce heavily peated whisky for blending
purposes.
For regulation purposes, the original distillery was forced to close
down in the 60’s (the date is uncertain) before re-opening under the
new name Brora. Brora eventually closed down for good in the whisky
slump of the 1980’s.
Brora’s malts produced between 1969 and 1983 are extremely soughtafter. So are Diageo (Brora’s last owner) releases of Brora 30 Year
Old as it is known that their stocks are certainly drying up very fast…

BANFF, SPEYSIDE
Did you know? - Banff
The Banff industry was founded in 1863 on the site of an old Banff
distillery dating 1824. On May 1977, the production facilities of
the young distillery were devastated by fire (the warehouse luckily
remained unscathed). Its owner, however, wasted no time, started
reconstruction immediately and even expanded the distillery as
he was eager to meet the huge demand increase the industry was
experiencing back then. He also invested in his own fire engine after
the reconstruction, which secured uninterrupted production of whisky
for Banff for a few decades.
Banff was acquired by the Distillers Company Ltd (‘DCL’) in 1932
and shut straight after. The premises were bombed by the Germans in
1941. Post WWII, however, the distillery was repaired and re-opened.
Despite a massive explosion, it was continuously operational until
1983, when it was finally closed, together with ten other malt whisky
distilleries owned by DCL.
As of today, nothing remains from Banff as the last remaining
warehouse was destroyed by another fire in 1991.

The Glenury distillery was established in 1825. In 1835, the distillery
was able to secure permission from King William IV to attach the
epithet 'Royal' as a suffix to the name, a privilege shared only by two
other distilleries: Royal Lochnagar and Royal Brackla.
The distillery was silent in 1852-58, 1938-1953 and in 1983 before
being finally closed for good in 1985. The distillery was demolished
a few years later.
Glenury Royal malts are appreciated for their spiciness and fruitiness.

LOCHSIDE, HIGHLANDS
Did you know? - Lochside
The Lochside distillery was established in 1957 only, when an 18th
century brewery was converted into a distillery by Joseph W Hobbs
who also owned some of Scotland’s flagship distilleries: Ben Nevis,
Bruichladdich, Glenkinchie, Glenesk, Benromach and Glenury Royal.
The distillery was closed in 1992 and dismantled a few years later.
Lochside’s whiskies mostly went to the production of blended
scotches, such as Sandy McNab, and hence, the only official bottling
of Lochside was a 10 year-old released in 1991, the year before the
distillery was closed, establishing the distillery’s character as sweet
and floral.

PORT ELLEN, ISLAY
Did you know? - About Port Ellen
Established as a malt mill on Islay's south coast in 1825 and developed as a distillery from 1833, Port Ellen was first closed in 1929 before being reopened and expanded in 1967. In 1983, however, Port Ellen was closed again, but the whisky made in this 17 year window is considered by whisky
experts as some of the finest examples of Islay malts ever produced, with a high level of peatiness and a phenomenal complexity.
Port Ellen is also one of the three main villages on Islay and one of the ferry terminals on the island.

Did you know? - Gordon & Macphail
Gordon & MacPhail is an acclaimed independent bottler and distiller
of Scotch Whisky, founded in 1895 and located in Elgin in the northeast of Scotland. It is a family business owned by the Urquhart Family,
which has been bottling single malt whiskies for over 115 years and
could very well be the oldest whisky blender & bottler in Scotland.
Whilst bottling under license for famous distilleries such as Macallan,
Glenlivet, Glen Grant, Linkwood and Mortlach, they began to select
and fill their own casks - almost always Spanish oak, ex-sherry casks
- at these and other distilleries, and to mature the whiskies for much
longer than was customary at the time. They very soon owned one
of the largest collections of malts in the world, with most of them
unavailable elsewhere!
34
Today, the whiskies are matured in Gordon & MacPhail's own
warehouses in Elgin or at the distillery where they were produced.
With around 300 different whisky brands stored in its warehouses, it
cares for some of Scotland's oldest and rarest casks.
Since 1993, Gordon & MacPhail own their own distillery Benromach
Distillery, Speyside, which they reopened in 1998.
In November 2013, Gordon & MacPhail were presented a Queen’s
Award by HRH The Princess Royal

ROSEBANK, LOWLANDS
Did you know? - Rosebank
Established in 1840 on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Rosebank was one of the founding members of
the Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd (later to be taken over by Distillers Company Limited in 1929). It took its name from the roses which grew along
the side of the canal.
Silent first in 1862-64, then in 1917-1919, the distillery produced steadily until it was dismantled in 1993 for commercial reasons. When Diageo
sold the site, the deeds stated that it could not be used for distilling until 2017. Rosebank is generally acknowledged as the best Lowlands malt
known for low productions and its traditional triple-distilled smooth floral style.
Recent independent bottlings of aged Rosebank malts have been blowing the myth within connoisseurs that Rosebank had to be consumed young
and are seeing their value quickly rising as the supply of maturing casks runs out.
"Still regarded by many as the classic representative of the species...widely regarded as the most distinguished Lowlands malt" ~ Charles MacLean,
'The Pocket Whisky Book'

Also known as Linlithgow, after the town in which it was built, the St
Magdalene distillery operated for over 200 years before being closed
in the great slump of 1983. The only sign of the distillery that remains
today is its pagoda.
The entire production was used for blended scotch and hence, there
were no official bottlings during the distillery’s lifetime. Nonetheless,
it has now become one of the most lamented closed distilleries, with
the few recent bottlings seized upon by whisky aficionados and
collectors alike.

Did you know? – Collectable Crystal & Ceramic Decanters
Recent trends seem to contradict French poet and novelist Alfred de Musset who said
“Qu'importe le flacon, pourvu qu'on ait l'ivresse.” (which translates by “The bottle
is not important as long as it gets you drunk.”). Indeed, the last few years have seen
multiple releases of special decanters in the spirit industries, notably for whiskies &
cognacs.
Strangely enough, whiskies do not have sediment and hence, there’s no real purpose
in decanting a whisky, other than a purely aesthetic one. In other words, a decanter is
simply a far more attractive and far more presentable vessel than the original whiskey
bottle. Crystal tends to be clearer than glass, allowing a person to see the whiskey's
tone and color more clearly; however, this has not lowered the connoisseurs’ taste for
ceramic decanters too.
For the last fifty years, crystal and ceramic decanters have become the preferred
vessels for the most special spirits editions, with famous spirits houses aiming at
the gift, the commemorative and the collectable markets by collaborating with the
most recognized decanter producers: e.g. The Famous Groose, Bell’s, Jim Beam
and Royal Salute with Wade (ceramics), LOUIS XIII de Remy Martin, Camus and
Johnnie Walker with Baccarat (crystal), or Hardy Cognacs and Macallan with Lalique
(crystal).
The bottle becomes precious by itself. These decanters indeed demonstrate the utmost
craftsmanship - often as much as the liquid they contain. They too depict a story.
Finally, they express rarity and are most of the time numbered.

A rare whisky in a precious decanter – two good reasons to cherish your malt as a

It is located on the south coast of the isle of Islay, Scotland.
Ardbeg used to produce a very smoky malt until 1981 when the
distillery was mothballed. It resumed production in 1989 but has lost
his extremely smoky characteristics as it now uses malt produced by
the Port Ellen maltings, and not its own malting floors anymore. Since
its acquisition by Glenmorangie in 1997, Ardbeg revived its tradition
of very peaty single malts.
Arbeg is reportedly entirely sold as single malt which is unusual in the
world of whisky, where most of distilleries see part of their production
used in blends.
Ardbeg is now focused on no age statement bottling, which makes the
old Ardbegs new collectors’ pieces.

BOWMORE, ISLAY
Did you know? - Bowmore
The Bowmore distillery was reportedly founded in 1779, which would
make Bowmore one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland.
Since 1994, Bowmore is owned by the Japanese group Suntory.
While modern day Bowmore whiskies tend to be predominantly
smoky, some Bowmores released in the 1970’s and before have a much
lighter, more 'floral' style.
Since the 2000’s, Bowmore is one of the few distilleries which
regularly offer 'finished' expressions of their whisky, such as new
bordeaux and port finishes.

BRUICHLADDICH, ISLAY
Did you know? - Bruichladdich
The Bruichladdich distillery was founded by the Harvey family in
1881 in Port Charlotte, Islay, directly opposite Bowmore, during the
'whisky boom' of the late 19th century. The Harvey family retained
ownership until 1929 when the distillery was mothballed. It changed
ownership a few times before finally being reopened and expanded in
the late 1960’s.
The distillery shut again in 1995 and was sold in 2000 to a consortium
of twenty five different shareholders that resumed operations in 2001
under the name 'Bruichladdich Distillery Co. Ltd.', including the
charismatic Jim McEwan (formerly of Bowmore). The new owners
also acquired a lot of maturing stocks that they carefully selected and
released with huge success.

DALMORE, HIGHLANDS
Did you know? – Dalmore
The Dalmore distillery was founded in 1839. Dalmore was the first malt whisky ever to be exported worldwide as early as in 1870.
The distillery was closed in 1917 as it was requisitioned by the Navy for the production of deep sea mine. Strongly damaged by both a fire and an
explosion it was left in ruins in 1920, it resumed production in 1922.
The standard Dalmore 12 year old is recognized by all as an all-time favorite for a younger whisky expression; while older expressions are
extremely sought after by whisky aficionados and regularly break new records in auction.
Why the stag? The story dates back to 1263, the year an ancestor of the Clan Mackenzie, founders of the Dalmore distillery, saved King Alexander
III from the fury of a charging stag. In the recognition of this noble act the grateful King granted the Clan Mackenzie the right to use a 12 point
stag, representing a "Royal", in their coat of arms. This zz icon has since adorned each bottle of The Dalmore, symbolizing The Dalmore distillery´s
royal legacy.

GLEN AVON, SPEYSIDE
About Glen Avon, the mystery Speyside single malt by Gordon & Macphail…
While information on distilleries and single malts can nowadays be easily found on the internet, Glen Avon remains a mystery… Indeed, there is
no distillery called Glen Avon and it is unclear from what distillery the Glen Avon single malt comes from.
Bottled by the whisky specialists and leading bottlers Gordon and Macphail, the source of this excellent single malt is a closely guarded secret. It
is said that the practical reason behind this mystery is that the malt comes from a distillery which did not give the permission to the bottlers to use
their name. The rumor within whisky aficionados has it that it might be Glenfarclas… or Macallan… who knows? Whatever it is, Glen Avon 1953
and 1955 are highly sought after by connoisseurs!

Did you know? - GlenDronach
GlenDronach was founded in 1826. The legend has it that its founder,
James Allardice, accidentally built the brand by offering some of his
whisky to some prostitutes in Edinburgh in a moment of despair.
Saddened by an unsuccessful sales trip to Edinburgh to promote its
whisky, Allardice invited two prostitutes to taste its unsold whisky.
The latter loved the elixir so much they shared it with others. Soon
enough the word spread within the city and as bar patrons kept on
requesting GlenDronach, bars quickly had to stock the new flavor of
the week!

GlenDronach’s history is one of too many disasters (the distillery
was totally destroyed by fire ten years after its inception) and too
many ownerships. The distillery was closed in 1996-2002, then
again in 2005. While it re-opened in 2008 under a new ownership
with the commitment of ensuring that GlenDronach’s legacy lives on,
connoisseurs today lament the unique direct coal firing, finely peated
and richly sherried style that GlenDronach was famous for.

Did you know? - Glenfarclas
The Glenfarclas distillery was founded in 1836. Funnily enough, it
was originally known as Glenlivet, a name it eventually had to give up
to the famous Glenlivet distillery we all know. Glenfarclas translates
as valley of the green grass.
The Glenfarclas distillery is one of the last independent family owned
distilleries in Speyside. It is owned by the Grant family which founded
Glen Grant.
The distillery has always been avant-garde and unconventional. Under
partial ownership by the flamboyant Pattison brothers (1895-1898), it
used large-scale innovative advertising in a time when mass media
like radio or television were not invented yet. It opened a visitor center
as early as in 1973. It was also one of the first distilleries to market
a cask strength version of its malt (‘the Glenfarclas 105’). Finally,
Glenfarclas is the last distillery in Scotland which still uses direct
heating of all its stills instead of indirect heating.

The world famous Glenfiddich distillery was established in Dufftown, Speyside in 1886. First exclusively used for blends, its first single malt was
released in 1963, which is considered by many as the first official single malt from Scotland. Glenfiddich literally created the single malt industry,
pioneering both production and marketing (with notably its famous triangular bottle). Still today, Glenfiddich is distilled, matured and even bottled
at its own distillery. It is Scotland's #1 malt whisky producer.
Glenfiddich is independent and family owned, still the property of its founders William Grant & Sons.

The Glenglassaugh distillery sits on a hillside in the Glassaugh

Between 1908 and 1960 the Glenglassaugh whisky distillery was

After more than 20 years of significant operations, the stills of the
Glenglassaugh distillery fell silent again in November of 1986.

GLENGOYNE, HIGHLANDS
Did you know? - Glengoyne
Glengoyne was founded in 1833. Its very singular location in the
Highlands, but a few meters upon the border of the Lowlands makes
it the only Highland single malt whisky matured in the Lowlands.
Indeed, while Glengoyne’s stills are in the Highlands (making it
a Highland whisky), the maturing casks rest across the road in the
Lowlands.
As a matter of fact, Glengoyne is stylistically closer to a Lowland
single malt than a Highland single malt. Indeed, on the contrary to
most whisky distilleries, Glengoyne does not use peat smoke to dry
their barley, but warm air, giving to the malt "the authentic taste of
malt whisky untainted by peat smoke".
In 1984 Glengoyne became suppliers of whiskies to Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth's household. The Royal Warrant has since been
featured on all Glengoyne products.
Glengoyne is regularly referred to as the "most beautiful distillery in
Scotland".

Did you know? – Glen Grant
The Glen Grant distillery was built in the Speyside in 1840 by the Grant Brothers and brought to fame and success by their successor James ‘The
Major’ Grant, a highly ambitious and innovative character and remarkably the first man in the Highlands to own a car. Under his direction, Glen
Grant quickly became one of the leading distilleries in Scotland. Notably, it was the first distillery to have electric light.
Half of Glen Grant’s massive Scotch whisky production is used for the production of blended scotch, notably Chivas which used to own the
distillery (1978-2006). Today Glen Grant is one of the top five bestselling Scotch single malt distilleries in the world. It is also one of a handful of
Speyside distilleries that can handle very extended cask maturation. It is owned by Campari.

87
Did you know? – Glenmorangie
The Glenmorangie distillery was established in 1843, although
production actually started in 1849.
Glenmorangie usually offers very subtle expressions of malts.
All of Glenmorangie's single malt is aged in first or second fill casks.
Glenmorangie is recognized as a pioneer of the technique of double
maturation / finished whiskies, which they popularize as early as
in the 1990’s with releases such as “madeira finish”, “port finish”,
“Sauternes Cask”, etc. with each of their experiments becoming highly
sought after collectors’ pieces (such as the 1978 Tain L'Hermitage
bottling, the 1975 vintage Cotes de Nuits finish or the 1981 vintage
finished in Sauternes casks from Chateau d'Yquem).
Glenmorangie is one of the smallest and most northerly distilleries
in Scotland. As a result the annual production is very limited and the
reserves of old whisky are even scarcer. Today, due to rising demand
for what is the biggest-selling malt whisky in Scotland, 100% of
production is reserved for bottling as single malt.

The Glentauchers distillery was founded in 1898 on the site of the
Tauchers Farm, Speyside, in the midst of the whisky boom. It survived

Glentauchers is a very boutique brand, unknown of most people as it’s
mostly used as a component of whisky blends, notably Ballantine’s,
Teacher’s and Chivas. Chivas Brothers / Pernod Ricard now owns the
distillery.
There have been very few official bottlings of Glentauchers as a single
malt. Old expressions of Glentauchers are rare and have been the sole
property of few acclaimed independent bottlers such as Gordon &

After already a few decades of illicit distillation, Highland Park received a license to distill whisky in 1828 – year officially marking the

All islands, except Islay, are considered to be part of the Highlands.
In 1984, Highland Park was the only whisky ever to have scored a rating of 100% by the regular tasting team of The Scotsman, a national

Did you know? - Jura
The present Jura distillery was built between 1960-63 on the grounds
of a previous distillery (also called Jura) that had been founded in 1810
but dismantled and silent since 1901. The new distillery is producing malt more akin to the Highlands
style rather than the heavily-peated whisky of near-neighbours Islay,
a strategy that has continued to bear fruit for Jura; although more
experimental peated bottlings from the late 1990s are now finding
their way to market, to some acclaim. Owned by Whyte & Mackay since the mid 1990’s, the distillery now
belongs to the Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya's United Breweries group,
which bought Whyte & Mackay in 2007. With Diageo taking control
of UB Group in 2013, there are rumors it could sell the Jura distillery.

Distilled on 17.09.1990.
Aged 20 years in a refill sherry butt.
Bottled on 18.01.2011 by Signatory.
‘Cask Strength Collection’.
Limited edition - Cask No. 6069 - Bottle 35 of 521.
57.9%, 70 cl.
Starting Price: HK$2,500
Mortlach malt whisky is mostly used as a component of the Johnnie
Walker Black Label blend. Like Glentauchers, there have been very
few official bottlings of Mortlach, especially before 2002. Expressions
of Mortlach pre-2002 are rare and have been the sole property of few
acclaimed independent bottlers such as Gordon & Macphail and
Signatory and hence, are highly sought after.
Glenfiddich’s founder – Mr William Grant – was an employee of the
Mortlach industry until he left and opened his own distillery.

Did you know? – The Glenlivet
The Glenlivet distillery is legally the oldest distilleries, established in 1824 and often described as "the single malt that started it all". Famous for its
quality whisky from its early beginnings, other distilleries would use its name in the 1800’s, no matter how distant they were from the Livet glen,
until finally sole rights to the name The Glenlivet were granted to the original Glenlivet distillery in 1884.

The Glenlivet has grown in the post-war period to become one of the biggest

THE MACALLAN, SPEYSIDE
Did you know? The Macallan
The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 in Craigellachie, Moray under the original name of Elchies Distillery. The distillery was expanded
toward the end of the nineteenth century and renamed Macallan-Glenlivet as a reference for the 'terroir' in the Speyside region. It’s only in 1980
that the 'Glenlivet' suffix was removed. Even though The Macallan is located in the middle of the Speyside region, it's still labeled as a Highland
malt.
The Macallan used to mature all its single malt production in sherry casks; the remaining being sold to blenders, among which Famous Grouse,
J&B, Chivas Regal, or Ballantine's. They used to proudly boast on their labels: “For reasons not even science can wholly explain, whisky has
always matured best in oak casks that have contained sherry. Due to increasing expense and scarcity, other distilleries no longer insist on sherry
casks. THE MACALLAN DIRECTORS DO.'”
In 2004, however, The Macallan introduced a range of Fine Oak casks, with the whisky mellowed in bourbon oak casks.
Despite one of the biggest productions in Scotland, The Macallan malts are highly sought after and aged Macallan regularly rank at the top of
the most expensive whiskies sold in auctions across the world. Old vintages are highly prized and very valuable while casks have become a rare
commodity!

最具歷史,是收藏家的最愛。
While there still exists quite a number of them and their engraving’s quality is often strangely unremarkable, Jacobite glasses have been providing
much fascination within collectors due to the pivotal importance of the Jacobite movement in both religious and politics of Great Britain and
Ireland (although much mystery still remains on who the Jacobites really were) and the controversy - even today - surrounding most of their
engraved motifs, such as the rose, the buds, the portraits and some of the Latin mottoes.

THE MOON COLLECTION 30TH ANNIVERSARY
Did you know? – Moon Import bottlings
It’s very little known that Italy has very early in history developed a strong taste in whiskies and single malts, actually much before the rest of the
world even discovered single malts…
One of the legendary independent bottlers from Italy, Moon Import is famous for having launched remarkable series of bottlings, often including
malts from little-known distilleries. Ranges from the past include 'Seven Seas', 'Cars', 'Ships', 'Costumes', 'Animals' etc.
The series, due to their beautiful labels – true works of art indeed - and the incredible quality and rarity of bottlings, have now become extremely
collectable.
Very active in the 1990’s, Moon Import have released very few new series since 2000. In 2010, however, they released a 30th Anniversary release
with some of their most sought-after labels.

Hennessy, Henco
Very special product by Hennessy, eventually discontinued, with yet a great story behind it…
Henco was released in the 1950-60's to be enjoyed with
water in order to compete with scotch whisky.
Traditionally, cognac used to be often enjoyed with
water (the so-called ‘Fine a l’Eau’). As blended scotch
grew in popularity in France, cognac got evicted by
scotch whiskies as it was more and more considered as
a winter drink. Henco was released to promote cognac
with water again.
Very few bottles are still available in the market.

marriage, would become Marnier-Lapostolle, a name which would
eventually become famous with Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle
creating the famous orange liquor Grand Marnier, which he named
following the advice of famous hotelier Cesar Ritz, who reportedly
told him his ‘grand’ liqueur deserved a ‘grand’ name.
In 1921, Louis-Alexandre purchased the Château de Bourg-Charente
in the region of Cognac in which the House produces cognacs as well –
the Marnier-Lapostolle cognacs (now simply called Marnier cognacs),
using grapes from throughout the cognac region.

Did you know? – Otard Cognacs & the Chateau de Cognac
The Otard cognac house was established in 1795 by Jean-Baptiste Antoine Otard under the name Otard, Dupuy & Co. It is headquartered in the
medieval Chateau de Cognac (also called ‘Château des Valois’), located in the heart of the city of Cognac.
The Chateau de Cognac dates back to the 10th century. The history of the chateau is a story of too many owners, however, in the 17th century, the
owner was King Charles X of France who rebuilt the chateau entirely.
In the eve of the 19th century, the Chateau’s history was ready to be destroyed when Messieurs Otard & Dupuy purchased this historical landmark
to save it from demolition. It’s in the damp and dark cellars under the chateau that the Otard house has been maturing and storing its cognacs since
then.
