This rare cuvée is crafted with exceptionally rare cognacs from the private family cellar, exclusively from Grande Champagne, and bigaradia oranges finely macerated in cognac. Quintessence is made of Grand Marnier's oldest reserves: up to 70-year-old Hors d'Age cognacs, exclusively from Grande Champagne, coming from the family reserve and the Paradis.
Quintessence uses bigaradia oranges exclusively macerated in cognac and is double distilled, according to an old recipe from the brand's archive. The maceration in cognac elevates the bigaradia's flavor, doubling up its concentration, scent, and refined taste. The blend comes exclusively from 11 selected barrels, including 2 from 1947, and 3 damejeane from the Paradis, which we believe to be even older. Only about 1,000 bottles produced worldwide each year.
