Pierre Ferrand Selection des Anges 1er cru
Pierre Ferrand Selection des Anges is about 30 years old
"Selection des Anges" means something in the direction of "the angels' choice". Here we really have a cognac that makes the angels sing, but "Selection des Anges" also naturally brings to mind the annual evaporation, which in the spirits world is called "the share of angels". And since this cognac from Pierre Ferrand is about 30 years old, the Angels reach Angeac to absorb a not insignificant amount over the years. A pure heavenly digestif.

Maison Ferrand, led by liquor guru Alexandre Gabriel, is the company behind some of the most essential cognacs, rum and gins in the modern liquor landscape. Under the umbrella are Pierre Ferrand Cognac, Plantation Rum and Citadelle Gin, rum under the Kaniché brand and cognac under the name Claude Chatelier. In addition, a number of luxury liqueurs are produced, of which especially their curacao has aroused enthusiasm in cocktail bars around the world. The company embraces wide, but common to every drop is an unwavering dedication to quality.
Maison Ferrand was created with one mission: to preserve France's gastronomic treasures. Alexandre has made a virtue of breathing life into old and long-forgotten traditions, and the ever-learned Frenchman is known, among other things, for picking up and buying old records from bankrupt houses, to learn more about the methods of production of the past. But Ferrand also understands the value of innovation, and today innovation is valued as much as tradition. This is clearly seen in the Citadelle Gin brand. To be allowed to distill gin in Cognac required five years of bureaucratic struggle against the area's stubborn liquor giants.
Since then, the enterprise has spread beyond the borders of France, and today Ferrand is perhaps best known for his series of rum. Under the name Plantation, Alexandre buys rum from many different countries in the Caribbean and leaves them in France on cognac casks. The series contains spaces for both the beginner and the connoisseur, for both the daiquiry and the Glencairn glass. The company bought the Barbados distillery West Indies Rum Distillery in 2017 and now has its own rum production from scratch.
