Pierre Ferrand vintage 1914 cognac
Stored on a cask of Limousin oak until 1987
The oldest cognac currently in Pierre Ferrand's portfolio is a vintage cognac from 1914. Just this year is legendary in cognac contexts, since the war meant that the men in the area had gone to the front and therefore the women had to stand for the first time distillation of the year. harvest.
It is stored on a dish of Limousin oak until 1987, when the liquor was moved to a lady jean - a large glass container typically used for very old cognac which does not benefit from further dish storage or which risks falling too far in alcohol percentage.
Monumental spirits - people have become religious for less!

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.
