Special Cuvée Cognac

A Cognac specially designed to be an accompaniment to a cigar, put together by A E Dor. It's a blend that includes Petite and Grande Champagne cognacs as well as a number of spirits that have been aged in new oak casks - this gives an extra woodiness that helps the Cognac stand up to a cigar's flavours.

A rich Grande Champagne cognac using old and increasingly rare Folle Blanche grapes as well as the more common Ugni Blanc. Bache Gabrielsen cognac is one to look out for - the quality coming from this producer is superb, and it's only a matter of time before they attract more mainstream attention.

A very rare Grand Champagne cognac blended from a number of 1960s vintages. It is named after the daugther of Jean-Phillippe Bergier, the Bache Gabrielsen Cellar Master.

A Cognac blended by Estève to balance elegance and complexity - a combination of eaux-de-vie with the lighter fruity flavours, and the darker leather and wood you get from longer aged spirit.

Napoleon is a phenomenal cognac from Chateau de Beaulon that knocks anything else in this price range for six in terms of flavour and complexity. Absolutely awesome stuff.

Aged around 30 years in oak before bottling, this Hors d'Age from Guillon Painturaud retains the house style of medium-weighted spirits still very vibrantly fruity even at this great age. This style of cognac will appeal to fans of Remy Martin rather than some of the more weighty big-hitters like Hennessy.

The Paradis de Famille is the oldest currently available Cognac from the Drouet domain. It contains Eau-de-Vie of between 25 and 30 years old combined to make Drouet’s most refined and elegant Cognac. This Cognac has won many medals over the last few years including a Gold Medal at the Concours Général Agricole Paris in 2007.

A bottling of Hine's rich Napoleon Extra Fine cognac, bottled at some time during the 1970s.

Vesper is a special cuvee from Delamain, with the cognacs used all coming from the Grande Champagne area and having an average age of around 35 years old. After assemblage, the blend is returned to oak casks for a further two years to marry. A dense, rich cognac showing plenty of leather & tobacco flavours.

An old bottle of Boulestine cognac from the 1960s.

A 1990 Grande Champagne Cognac from Grosperrin, bought from a merchant who also grows grapes. 1990 was a good year for growers, with a big harvest and some good quality wines.

An old bottle of Prince Hubert de Polignac cognac that was originally released in the Italian market during the 1970s.

A special gift pack of A E Dor Cognac. This sets comes presented in a wonderful wooden presentation box. This pack includes 20cl versions of the VS, VSOP, Napoleon and the XO.

A special edition ceramic decanter from Camus, produced in celebration of the 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles (although as they don't mention the word 'Olympic' on the decanter it could be an unofficial tie-in).

A rare old cognac bottled for John Exshaw. We believe that this bottle dates from around the 1960s.

From a single estate in the Fins Bois region owned by the prestigious Bisquit cognac house, Chateau de Ligneres is blended from the finest old reserve eaux-de-vie and makes an exceptional digestif for the discerning connoisseur.

A 100% Grande Champagne cognac, with the oldest components of the blend were distilled in around 1917 and the youngest in the 60s. Hors d'Age is a big and rich cognac which handles its age well.

An old bottling of Chateau de Fontpinot's Premier Cru cognac, that we think is from the 1970s.

An old bottle of Marett's VVSOP cognac - 'Very Very Special Old Pale'. The extra 'Very' is not only for show, as this is a cut above the regular VSOPs of the 1950s.

A long aged cognac from Domaine de Chez Maillard bottled by Leyrat. Old and blended from some of the finest Fins Bois cognacs held in the Leyrat paradis.
