1993 Francois Voyer Straight From the Barrel Cask Strength Grande Champagne Cognac (700ml)

Cognacs that are slowly diluted and bottled at 40% ABV are currently the most widely available. More recently a new category is emerging. Cask Strength (brut de fut) Cognac is a term used to describe a cognac that has been bottled straight from the cask. It means that the alcohol content is at a naturally reduced level, which can vary depending on the length of time it has spent aging, the specific barrel and the cellar conditions in which it was aged (humid or dry). These kinds of bottlings are bringing a traditional spirit to a new market, in particular, lovers of single malt whisky. Distilled in 1993 and bottled in 2023, Voyer's limited edition could be classified as XO, derived from a single barrel with a yield of 650 bottles at an impressive 53.6%. It's recommended for those keen on experiencing Cognac in its purest, rawest, most natural form. A cognac experience you won't soon forget.
