Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge - 1.14 Litre
1. Introduction
Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is a premium and unique orange liqueur that originates from France. The story began in 1827 when Jean-Baptiste Lapostolle founded a distillery in Neauphe-le-Château, France, producing fruit liqueurs. In 1880, Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, the founder's granddaughter's husband, had the innovative idea of blending French cognac with a rare variety of bitter orange from the Caribbean, the 'Citrus bigaradia'. He created the famous liqueur, which was originally named 'Curaçao Marnier' before being renamed 'Grand Marnier' by his friend, the famed hotelier César Ritz.
2. Spirit Description
Cordon Rouge, meaning 'Red Ribbon,' is the flagship and original expression of Grand Marnier, known as a fruit liqueur that emphasizes candied citrus flavour. It is a blend of exceptional French cognac (51%) and the bitter essence of wild tropical oranges (49%). The cognac used is sourced from Cognac's best five regions, with an average age of 3 to 5 years. The bitter orange distillate is created by macerating sun-dried bitter orange peels in neutral alcohol before slow distillation. Slow ageing in French oak casks gives it incomparable roundness and subtlety.
Colour: It is a bright topaz colour, brilliant with gold and amber tints.
Aroma: The complex nose features attractive orange notes with nuances of candied zests. It also carries vanilla flavours from the cognac and a light but firm oak character.
Palate: The flavour is full and ample. Bitter orange aromas are balanced by cognac notes of hazelnuts and toffee, with secondary impressions of caramelized sugar and warmth. The overall structure balances the orange's bitterness with the sugar's sweetness and wood spiciness.
Body: The mouthfeel is smooth and concentrated.
Finish: The finish is long and harmonious. When sipped neat, the finish is full of orange marmalade and spicy oak, with a light bitterness creeping in at the very end.
Stylistic Notes: This is a versatile, iconic liqueur that works equally well as a sipping liqueur and as a flexible cocktail ingredient.
ABV: The alcoholic strength is 40% ABV.
