Remi Landier Cognac - Tres Vieux Fins Bois L72-73 - Journal des Kirsch

With the single casks from the Journal des Kirsch series, we report on the experiences that French spirits have to offer: excitement, surprise, delight and variety. For the latest culinary delight, we followed the picturesque route from the city of Cognac to the idyllic Rouillac - to the renowned Rémi Landier distillery .

The Rémi Landier house is the heir to centuries-old knowledge passed down by the Benedictine monks of the Royal Abbey of Bassac. As a brand, Rémi Landier has been producing elegant, delicate and powerful cognacs for connoisseurs and novices since 1973. Our discovery for the Journal des Kirsch N.8 dates back to these early years of the brand's existence.

The Rémi Landier L72-73 consists of two Cognacs des Fins Bois from the 1972 and 1973 vintages . These matured separately in 450-litre barrels made of Allier and Limousin oak until 1986. They were then married and left to rest in a dry cellar. In 2012, the excellent result was decanted into glass balloons , so-called demijohns, in order to transfer the "old bottle flavour" into the Cognac.

Bottled at a natural cask strength of 52.5% vol. , neither coloured nor sweetened nor chill-filtered , stormy tropical notes collide with fine minerality and nougat melt.
