Created as a tribute to the Paris World Fair of 1900, where Louis XIII Cognac was first presented and received the highest praise, this limited edition from the Time Collection is a masterpiece of liquid history. Crafted exclusively from the prestigious Grande Champagne terroir, the premier cru of Cognac, it is an exquisite blend of up to 1,200 distinct eaux-de-vie, some aged for over a century in ancient oak tiercons. The decanter itself is a work of art, inspired by a 16th-century metal flask found on the battlefield of Jarnac. On the palate, it delivers an unparalleled symphony of myrrh, honey, dried roses, plum, honeysuckle, cigar box, and leather, representing the pinnacle of French distillation heritage.
