Harveys Grand Champagne Cognac
Bottled in 1964

This rare vintage Cognac was distilled in 1935 and matured for almost three decades in oak casks before being bottled in 1964 by Harveys of Bristol. Drawn from the chalky soils of Grande Champagne – the finest cru of Cognac – it offers a remarkable glimpse into a pre-war spirit that has rested in glass for over 60 years.

On the nose, the Cognac opens with deep aromas of dried apricot, fig and orange peel, layered with walnut, polished oak, and a touch of cigar box. There is an immediate sense of maturity, with soft rancio notes adding savoury depth.

The palate is supple and mellow, carrying flavours of candied fruits, roasted nuts, and gentle spice, balanced by a subtle honeyed sweetness. …

Shipped & bottled by Saccone & Speed Ltd, London

Since many years Hine has upheld a tradition of making good vintage cognacs, mostly made of Grande Champagne. Many of them were early landed, late bottled cognacs: cognacs that were shipped to Great Britain one or two years after the distillation to ageing them in the humid warehouses near the chalky coasts of England. These have a reputation of being very elegant and well balanced.

Cusenier Cognac, Cognac

1934, Landed 1935, bottled in 1960 by Grants of St James's

A rare bottling of cognac from a company who were mainly sought after for their apertifs.

The label reads: This brandy was shipped in 1935 and was bottled by Grants of St James after being held in cask for 26 years.
A large quantity of the original shipment was lost during this period due to evaporation, and the remainder has developed into a magnificent brandy with a mellow bouquet.

Grants of St. James was a renowned British wine and spirits merchant with a rich history dating back to the 18th century. …

Chairman's Exceedingly Old and Rare Champagne Cognac
believed to be bottled by A. Hardy

This ultra rare cognac was imported by Eldridge Pope & Co., a traditional UK brewer based in Dorchester, Dorset, established in 1837. The brewery closed in July 2003.

The cognac is believed to be bottled by A. Hardy as Eldridge and Pope were sourcing their cognac from this historic producer.

With a history dating back to 1863, Cognac Hardy is well known for quality cognacs and traditional production methods. Passed down throughout the generations, this family house of cognac, which can be recognized by its rooster logo, was one of the very first to embrace the spoils of a worldwide distribution network. …

Grande Champagne Reserve Cognac (75cl)

A good Cognac is subjected to a complex manufacturing process. It is never made from the eau-de-vie of a single cru, but from a `marriage' of eaux-de-vie that vary in age and cru - some as old as a hundred. To establish the age of a Cognac, only the number of years spent in oak casks or barrels are taken into account. As soon as an eau-de-vie is decanted into a glass recipient, it ceases to age. The longer it is left to age, the more a Cognac gains in complexity, fragrance, aromas and taste (spiced, pepper and cinnamon flavours).

Alcoholic Strength by volumes 35° Gay Lussac. Fully matured in wood before bottling. …
