The Courvoisier VOC (Very Old Cognac) Decanter is a legendary release from this historic house, celebrated for its exquisite presentation and the rare quality of the spirits within. Historically presented in elegant, custom-designed decanters that pay homage to the hand-blown glass artistry of the 19th century, this bottling represents a masterclass in the art of blending. It is crafted from exceptionally old, slow-matured eaux-de-vie sourced primarily from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne districts. These spirits undergo traditional double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills before their long slumber in bespoke French oak casks. The result is a remarkably complex spirit, rich with notes of dried fruits, old leather, warm spices, and the elusive 'rancio' that only decades of careful wood aging can bestow.
