The Edward VII Reserve by Courvoisier celebrates a profound historical alliance between the legendary Cognac house and the British Royal Family. King Edward VII was a passionate connoisseur of fine spirits and a dedicated admirer of Courvoisier, culminating in the house being granted a prestigious Royal Warrant in 1911. This exceptional reserve honors that legacy, drawing from rare, aged eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the premier crus of Grande and Petite Champagne. Crafted using traditional double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills and matured in bespoke French oak casks, this Cognac embodies the rich, complex style favored by royalty. It reveals a majestic sensory profile defined by deep rancio, dried stone fruits, warm winter spices, and toasted nuts, echoing the opulent banquets of the Edwardian era.
