About Ferrand Cognac 1840
Pierre Ferrand Cognac 1840 Original Formula is a VS-level cognac recreating the style of 19th-century cocktail spirits, double-distilled in onion-headed copper pot stills from unfiltered wine with lees for added depth, then aged in French Limousin oak casks. Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof), it offers a heavier, fruit-forward profile with pear, vanilla, honey, and spice notes, distinguishing it from lighter modern VS cognacs by its plush sweetness and mixing prowess. Ideal for cocktail enthusiasts and casual sippers seeking value at around $40.88 for 750ml, it outperforms many peers in balance and versatility, earning high marks like 90/100 from Tastings.com and medals in competitions. Compared to standard cognacs, its higher proof and 14.5g/L dosage provide refined smoothness without raw alcohol bite, making it a bargain revival of golden-era brandy.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromas burst with ripe pear, green apple, citrus zest, honey, and vanilla, layered with floral jasmine, violets, and fruit blossom. Subtle oak, tobacco, and spices like nutmeg evoke a plush, sweet cognac reminiscent of old liqueur styles. Bright fruits and fortified wines add vibrancy, shifting from whisky-like to distinctly floral and elegant.
👅 Palate
Heavy and silky mouthfeel delivers intense pear, tree fruits, vanilla, honey, and baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Tropical notes of apricot, papaya, and nougat mingle with buttered pastry and oak for a warm, enrobing balance. Mild yet weighty, it showcases refined sweetness without harshness, ideal for sipping or mixing.
✨ Finish
Lingering honey, apple, and fresh grape sweetness fades into wood spice, cinnamon, and a minty glow. Short to medium with grassy freshness and subtle pepper.
