Monnet XO Cognac

Monnet Cognac

Cognac

THE SUNNY STYLE OF COGNAC

There is a Monnet style: “sunny” Cognacs, warm with strong floral and fruity hints. Monnet Cognac is first enjoyed through one’s eyes. This specific style was captured by famous illustrator Leonetto Cappiello in his renowned “Sunshine in a glass” poster, completed for Monnet in the 1920s. This poster gave the brand an aura that it still carries nowadays.

HISTORY

The House of Monnet was founded in 1838. Jean-Gabriel Monnet, who gave the house his name in 1897 and chose as its emblem the salamander. Jean Monnet succeeded his father before embarking on an illustrious political career, as chief architect of the European Union. As the House progresses toward its 200th anniversary, it is more committed than ever to the founding principles of quality, generosity and authenticity.

XO is slowly blended from eaux-de-vie selected primarily from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Aged in Limousin oak casks for a minimum of 17 years. Monnet XO strikes a perfect balance between structure, character and delicacy. On the nose, this richly complex cognac marries sweet, spicy aromas of licorice, nuts and candied fruits. On the palate, it offers exceptional roundness, finesse and a luxuriously long finish.

The Balvenie The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 Years

The Balvenie

750 ml | 43% ABV
Whiskey | Scotch

Born in December 1839, William Grant became a cattle herder at the age of 7 in order to supplement his family's income. As a teenager, Grant apprenticed as a cobbler and a clerk, and in 1866, he joined Mortlach Distillery as a bookkeeper. For the next two decades, Grant managed the affairs at the distillery, while secretly learning the art of distillation. In 1886, he resigned from his position as distillery manager and bought a field beneath the towering shadows of Balvenie Castle, which he eventually converted into Balvenie Distillery. Today, Balvenie Distillery, situated in the Speyside region of Scotland, remains one of the most independent and prestigious distilleries in all of Scotland. Balvenie Single Malt Whisky is made from fresh, plump barley grown on Balvenie Mains, a 1,000-acre farm situated adjacent to the distillery (the farm has been the distillery's source for barley for over a century). After the barley is harvested, it is malted at the distillery with spring water sourced from the rolling Speyside hills that overlook the distillery. During the malting process, the barley is turned up to four times a day in order to ensure that it germinates evenly (Balvenie is the only single malt Scotch whisky distillery that continues to grow and malt its own barley). Once the barley has been malted, it is milled and mashed at the distillery before being fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled twice, first through Balvenie's copper-pot wash still and then again through its copper-pot spirit still. "The most important reason for using a copper still," explains Dennis McBain, Balvenie's coppersmith, "is that it acts as a catalyst. It removes any sulfur which may be carried over from the fermentation process prior to distillation." McBain, who joined Balvenie Distillery in 1959, is one of the oldest coppersmiths remaining in the industry. In addition, the size and shape of Balvenie's stills the stills' necks have unique boil balls that are nicknamed "Balvenie Bowls" results in Balvenie's signature bold and malty flavor profile. "The size and shape of the boil ball allow for the vapors to mix before continuing up the head," explains McBain. "That helps make The Balvenie special." Inspired to produce an even fruitier, sweeter Balvenie, Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie had the bright idea to import Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky. After deep toasting them at The Balvenie Cooperage, they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a delectably complex whisky with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla.

Old Pulteney Pineau Des Charentes Coastal Series Scotch Whisky

Old Pulteney

750 ml | 46% ABV
Whiskey | Scotch

PINEAU DES CHARENTES - The Coastal Series
Pineau des Charentes offers a lighter, sweeter taste layered on signature Old Pulteney flavours, delivering a truly wonderful dram.

Cask Maturation
Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is a no-age statement whisky, and making it has been an adventure in itself. As our Distillery Manager Malcolm Waring explains: ‘Under my watch, the casks are opened when I feel they are ready. The result is a beautiful sweetness that perfectly complements Old Pulteney’s signature saltiness, delivering in the same way as an older expression.
As you can probably tell, we’re justifiably proud of our new Pineau des Charentes single malt. But if you need another reason to try it, we can think of a few. Its bronze colour and fragrant aroma of honey, stewed fruits and toasted spices. A lingering, sweet and nutty taste that gives way to a coastal finish that’s almost savoury. It’s an unforgettable take on the Maritime Malt.

TASTING NOTES

Appearance: Bronze with a pink hue.

Aroma: Fragrant and rich with honey sweetness and vanilla at the base. Intense fruitiness starts jammy and stewed and develops into candied oranges and sticky balsamic raisins. Hints of toasted spices and powder pepper complete this stunning profile.

Taste: A lingering finish showcases notes of caramelised hazelnuts and ground spices, broadening in sweetness, and then drying ever so slowly towards a savoury finale of coastal minerality.
