Background

Look back to the year 1900 and the world as it existed that year when the Roullet family distilled this magnificent cognac and tucked it away in their cellars in small casks to get the maximum effect of the wood during the aging of this fine treasure.

World War I was still years away and France was reveling in what was later declared a 5 star vintage year for wines throughout the country. Albert Einstein had just graduated from college and during the year Louis Armstrong, Aaron Copeland, Ernie Pyle, and Admiral Rickover would be born.

The deep amber color of this ancient Cognac is the result of 65 years of ageing in the very old casks of the Roullet family's "Paradis", a rare vault of exceptionally old spirits. Here it was held in cask until 1965 at which time it was transferred into 30 liter demijohns to keep it at its best before it could be bottled.

We have only 14 bottles of this masterpiece.
