Hermitage 1875 Grande Champagne Paradis Cognac - 41.5% 70cl

Only a few bonbonnes exist of this old, Hermitage Paradis 1875 Cognac which originally came from a cellar near Bouteville. 

It was distilled on a very small still and then aged for more than 75 years in a cellar built against a limestone cutting.

The cellar floor and walls were natural, with no cement or conrete, which made it ideal for ageing old cognacs.

Aged for more than 75 years in an oak cask in a cellar with natural walls and floor.

Distillation was on a small 3 hectolitre still, which was fired with wood and coal blocks; wood would have been used for the early distillations.

Around this period in history the distiller would sleep in the distillery to ensure the ‘eau de vie’ did not burn.

This cognac is completely natural, there has been no reduction.
