COGNAC LEYRAT GLORY EXTRA

Country: FRANCE
Alcohol Level: 40%
Bottle Size: 750ml

A very old, single estate Cognac from Leyrat, the Glory Extra is made using eaux-de-vie matured in casks that were hidden in the far reaches of Leyrat's 'Chai Paradise' cellar - which sounds like a lovely place to be. Evidently the casks were well hidden, as the eaux-de-vie in the Glory Extra is at least 40 years old, although there is no exact age given to this release.
