Made with eaux-de-vie that have been aged for at least four years, this is a cognac for the new generation. For this fine blend, four eaux-de-vie have been selected from Fins Bois crus and one from Grande Champagne. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe different ages of the blended cognacs result in the unique style of this luxurious offering with the vigor of the youngest eaux-de-vie and the complexity and maturity of the oldest coming together for a perfect harmony. This superior cognac is an elegant union of fruity and floral aromas. A delightful sipper on its own or in cocktails.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis bottle was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up your bottle today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Merlet Cognac\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Located in the picturesque village of Saint-Sauvant in the Cognac region in southwestern France, the Merlet \u0026amp; Fils Distillery is a 5th generation, family-owned brand that traces its beginnings back to 1850. In 1973, Gilles Merlet took over the distillery and today, him and his sons are still in charge. After distilling for large cognac houses for 160 years, Merlet began developing their own collections of fruit liqueurs and making cognac in 2010. The awards came flooding in soon after.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3543\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Merlet Cognac bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Cognac\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCognac is a type of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/brandy\/\"\u003ebrandy\u003c\/a\u003e produced in the Cognac region of France.\u003cbr\u003eBecause the French take it very seriously, there are numerous rules cognac makers have to follow not to fall “short” into the brandy category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white wine from the specific grapes (Ugni blanc) has to be doubly distilled in a copper pot still before being aged for at least two years in oak casks from which the wood can only come from two specific forests in France (Limousin or Tronçais).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the age, there are three types of cognac, the youngest V.S.
