L’Oiseau Rare Decanter
Trade Tools
France
L’Oiseau Rare, meaning “Rare Bird” is a tribute to the writings of Jacques Delamain on bird and the very unique cognacs that compose the blend. Crafted from a blend of very old eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, this exceptional Hors d’Age cognac offers the promise of an astonishingly complex tasting experience.
Tasting Note
Delicate notes of flowers and a hint of spice, followed by perfectly ripe summer fruits such as apricot, peach, and pear, and roasted almonds. On the palate, flavors of orange zest complemented by notes of cardamom are intermigled with fruit flavors like red fruits, Kirsch cherries, and Muscat grapes. Persistent length and elegant finish.

The extraordinary individual qualities of the eaux-de-vies, the opportunity to imagine how these individual talents could be brought together in a symphony. It is a privilege to pursue this legacy.
