Pierre Ferrand Cognac 1840 is a cognac you won't forget. It offers a smell of ripe, juicy grapes, accented with a bouquet of flowers, notes of acacia blossom and a hint of cedar. It leaves warm fruit notes on the palate, while the finish offers a sweetness of honey and spices.
Living in the ancient mansion of her ancestors, Mademoiselle Henriette, the last direct descendant of this noble lineage, was, during her lifetime, the custodian of this precious memory. She chose to confide in us and this is the inspiration for this wonderful blend. We called it "10 Generations". It is made only with Ugni-Blanc grapes. It is distilled slowly, aged in French oak, with 20% aged in Sauternes barrels. It is a rich and complex cognac with a strong freshness at the same time.
Xibal Gin is the first gin ever made in Guatemala, inspired by Mayan mythology. Brewed with a handcrafted process, it is distilled in a copper pot still, using iconic botanicals from Mesoamerican history as a fundamental part of it. Through its combination of bay leaf, lemon, black pepper, orange, bacon and cardamom, Xibal expects to connect its Guatemalan roots with pre-Columbian and current Guatemalan culture. This connection leads to the most perfectly representative contemporary syncretism that has ever existed in Guatemalan culture, a perfect blend of modernism, with influences from all continents and an excellent base coming from a culture with over two thousand years of history.
Its packaging represents the Guatemalan identity through hieroglyphic and Mayan symbols. It tells its story through a legend named after one of the most important places in Mayan mythology, Xibalba. Bright and clear, slightly sweet and smooth, with an explosion of juniper and citrus, dominated by orange and lemon. Light cumin, cardamom and freshly ground pepper follow. Long finish with light floral notes and a fresh bitterness from the juniper.
Bright golden yellow color! A bouquet of vanilla with melodies of dried roses, plum jam combined with walnuts, cinnamon and liquorice. Full body and rich mouthfeel with excellent balance.
The pioneering owner of the Cognac Ferrand distillery, Alexandre Gabriel, stepped on a very old recipe to create his curacao. The combination of Curacao oranges with other, sweet varieties may be the star of this product, but the old recipe also included other ingredients such as vanilla, plums and lemon peel, among others. Alexandre, has kept the sugar levels very low to create an authentic 'dry curacao' in which you will find just 180g of sugar per litre.
