Delamain Cognac
Réserve de la Famille
ABV: 43%
Country: France
technical data
ABV: 43%
AGING: 60 years in a single french oak cask, from a single Grande Champagne estate
Réserve de la Famille was until historically reserved strictly for the Delamain family and guests. Its defining feature is that it is not a blend but a single-estate bottling from one barrel aged for 60 years, the maximum period over which a Cognac can improve in cask. This cognac is graceful, yet full bodied and flavorful with a saturation on the palate that reveals the maturity of lush fruit that flourishes within the Grande Champagne region. Recently Reserve de la Famille was one of eight in 2013 inducted into F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal Hall of Fame, which includes only 120 spirits from the entire globe.

tasting note
The Reserve de la Famille’s powerful perfume and lengthy fragrance showcases floral touches rare for its age, in addition to dry grapes, almonds and the rich and concentrated, slightly cheesy and overripe fruit aromas known as rancio.
food pairing
The highest-quality Cognac is usually enjoyed after dinner as a contemplative drink. It should be served at cool room temperature or slightly chilled and allowed to warm in the glass, slowly releasing waves of aroma. Pour about 1 inch of Cognac into a thin tulip-shaped glass. Pause to smell the aromas, then take small sips to appreciate the Cognac’s smooth texture, its expressive layers of flavor and its lengthy finish. Cognac connoisseurs enjoy its aromas long after the glass is empty.
