After 140 years of innovation, the Grand Marnier Quintessence Grande Cuvee stands as an ultimate luxury expression of the original groundbreaking recipe, seamlessly marrying cognac and bigaradia orange essence. This exquisite blend is a tribute to the legacy of French craftsmanship. The recipe, utilizing the brand’s library of ancient Cognac, features bigaradia oranges uniquely macerated in cognac and double distilled, enhancing the fruit's flavor, scent, and taste. The blend boasts the oldest Grand Marnier reserves - Hors d’Age cognacs aged up to 70 years - and comes exclusively from a selection of historic barrels, underscoring the brand’s commitment to exclusivity. Wrapped in a deep copper hue, the Quintessence teases your senses with fresh lemony facets, complex woody notes, and flavors of cognac, orange, walnut, and dry apricot. It finishes with vibrant, lively hints of spicy cinnamon and dark vanilla. Packaged in a work of art, a handmade Baccarat crystal carafe, each facet enhances the richly sensual experience of looking, opening, pouring, and drinking this exquisite liqueur. The 40% ABV allows this liquid to drink more like Cognac than liqueur, while delightfully sweet, it's never cloying. Nearly 200 years of expertise makes this one of the finest bottles you could ever place on your bar.
