Cognac Courvoisier ex-Sherry Casks
Beam Suntory has launched Courvoisier Sherry Cask Finish, a rich and complex cognac which has been matured in ex-sherry casks developing additional layers of flavour. Having first matured in French Limousin oak casks for years to develop its taste, the cognac undergoes a second maturation in ex-sherry casks.
This new product is being released in duty free stores, 40% ABV, 70cl, €50.
This new product is hoping to appeal to both traditional cognac drinkers as well as malt whisky drinkers and those looking for something different.
Courvoisier Sherry Cask Finish is the first bottling in Courvoisier’s Masters Cask Collection and it is pushing the boundaries of the category.
Courvoisier is the 2nd large cognac house to get into this kind of cognac finished category, with Martell being the first with the Swift model finished in ex-Bourbon casks.
This is the 2nd Cognac finished in ex-Sherry casks. I was actually the first to release sherry casks finished ex-Sherry casks in 2014, and I actually won best cognac category with my ex-Sherry casks finished cognac in the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Long lived these casks finished!!! Great to have Courvoisier join-in with me.
