Courvoisier Sherry Cask Finish launches in GTR

Beam Suntory has launched Courvoisier Sherry Cask Finish, a rich and complex cognac which has been matured in ex-sherry casks developing additional layers of flavour.

This new release offers travel retail customers a unique and intriguing bottling that is expected to appeal to wider premium brown spirit drinkers.

Having searched for inspiration for new tastes across the world, Patrice Pinet, Courvoisier’s master blender, discovered a technique that, when applied to cognac, releases unprecedented layers of intensity that appeal to traditional cognac drinkers as well as malt whisky drinkers and those looking for something different.

Courvoisier Sherry Cask Finish is the first bottling in Courvoisier’s Masters Cask Collection and it celebrates the magic of maturing, pushing the boundaries of the category. Having first matured in French Limousin oak casks for years to develop its taste, the cognac undergoes a second maturation in ex-sherry casks, building additional layers of flavour for a subtly sweeter, complex cognac and a lingering finish.

Available now in global travel retail 40% ABV, 70cl, €50
