Delamain, Réserve de la Famille Grande Champagne Cognac.

Delamain Réserve de la Famille Grande Champagne Cognac is an exceedingly rare, unblended, single-cask Cognac distilled by one grower in the village of St.-Preuil. First released in 1984, it is the epitome of the Delamain style.

The bottle is appropriately dressed with a handmade, pure hemp paper label produced at the Moulin du Verger near Angoulême.

Aged 15 years by the grower and 40 in Delamains cellars, it has achieved a natural alcoholic content of 43 percent from 55 years in cask, the strength at which it is bottled, undiluted.

Released infrequently and in limited quantity, this exquisite Cognac shows an unrivalled breed and elegance, with notes of liquorice, toast and the classic "rancio charentais" lingering through to the unforgettable finish.
