In a blend of mature eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne, Antique sets out to be different. A perpetual conversation between the fruit and oak reveals notes of hazelnut, ripe quince and mild spices, appearing amid accents of fig tart and blonde tobacco.

The Merlet & Fils Distillery hails from the Saint-Sauvant in the Cognac region. The family-owned brand has been making cognac since 1850 and is now in its fifth generation of Merlet's. After distilling for large cognac houses for 160 years Merlet ventured out to develop their own cognac in 2010, producing several award-winning spirits. This stunning VSOP is a blend of eaux-de-vie aged over 4 years old from various Cognac crus, blended together to the highest quality. This cognac has a superb round and supple mouthfeel that stands delicious on its own or in any range of signature cocktails.

The family-run House of Delamain is one of the oldest cognac houses and has been in the art of making cognac for more than 2 centuries. Based in Jarnac, France, it was founded in 1759 when James Delamain left Ireland to settle in the French town. After his death in 1800, the business closed its doors to be reopened in 1924 by James' grandson Henri Delamain, who founded Maison Delamain. Several generations have shaped the character of the house of cognac, as it was run by botanists, writers, ornithologists, humanists, archaeologists, and historians. The cognac house is focused on XO cognac and uses eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne exclusively, this being the most prestige of all the cognac crus (regions). Delamain pride themselves on letting time work its magic, never rushing the tasting, assessment, and selection of the thousands of samples that come their way. Time is a crucial element here, as they deal with rare cognacs, often aged 50 years or more. Once an eau-de-vie has been selected it goes into the cellars of Cellar Master Dominique Touteau, where it is closely monitored throughout its long stay. The aged French oak casks preserve the fruity flavor and subtleties and are moved between different cellars; sometimes the cask needs a damp environment, other times a breezy one, a cool or warmer one. The liquid inside breathes and follows the rhythm of the seasons. When the time has come to blend the meticulously-developed cognac, the Cellar Master already knows the tiniest details and temperaments of each eau-de-vie. The blending of the cognac is left until last, only leaving the two years of marrying the final liquid in order to let all the aromas and flavors gel and make Delamain the fantastically elegant spirit that it is. The exceptional and ultra-premium Delamain Cognac Reserve de la Famille was originally meant for the Delamain family and their guests. It's special in that it's a single-estate, single-barrel Cognac. Instead of being blended, it's a single Grande Champagne eau-de-vie that has been aged for arguably the maximum amount of time that still benefits the liquid inside, around 60 years. It's undiluted, as the alcohol content has dropped naturally through the years to 43% ABV.

Fine V.S.O.P. Cognac Blended With Pineau Des Charentes Wine

Against the backdrop of WWII, the infamous Bar Florida in Havana, Cuba created a cocktail named after the legendary entertainer Josephine Baker. With French Cognac as the main ingredient, this cocktail was an homage to one of the greatest women in world history.

Born into poverty in St. Louis in 1906, Josephine moved to France and became an overnight sensation as a film and stage actress, a singer, and a humanitarian.

Both the cocktail then, and Sephina today, celebrate Josephine’s unique and complex life as a performer who was the toast of Europe, a decorated citizen of France who spied on Germany, a philanthropist, and a civil rights activist.

Sephina has partnered with Karl Franz Williams, mixologist and owner of New York City’s legendary Harlem artisan cocktail bar 67 Orange Street, to create an exciting new cocktail series built upon Sephina’s flavor notes
