Released in 1977 for the 150th anniversary of the company, this legendary liqueur is made using extra old (about 20 years old) Cognacs. The unique limited edition, hand-painted bottle is presented in a handsome gift box. Tasting note: ... a defining moment in the world of liqueurs; the finish is round, buxom, syrupy, and semisweet as the cognac element bows to the triple orange; nothing short of perfection; it gives amazing satisfaction after a meal. Score – HHHHH (out of 5). (F. Paul Pacult, Kindred Spirits, 1997) |
