Merlet Brothers Cognac VSOP - 70cl
A surprisingly shy nose of delicate florals, fruit and something darker and spicier lurking in the background. By contrast, the palate is relatively big and boisterous, with sour cherry, cola cube and a drying finish. All about character rather than complexity.
Merlet Cognac
Merlet, based in Saint-Sauvant, France, has been a key player in the liqueur and Cognac world since 1850. This family-run business covers three generations, each adding to its spirit-making evolution. They are known for blending traditional methods with new flavours, especially in their fruit liqueurs. These liqueurs expertly mix pure fruit and the richness of Cognac.
Local ingredients are central to Merlet. They pick everything, from fruits to eaux-de-vie, from the area. This ensures a true French taste and honours the local land. Merlet also takes sustainability seriously. They respect the environment in all they do, showing a strong commitment to quality and long-term success.
Recently, Merlet has combined old and new flavours. Products like C2 Café and C2 Citron mix classic Cognac with modern tastes like coffee and lemon. This shows that Merlet`s history is a source of inspiration, not a limit.
In short, Merlet`s journey is about balance. They mix old customs with new ideas, use local ingredients that are popular worldwide, and create drinks for everyone.
Primarily used for classic Cognac cocktail, particularly juleps, slings, sazeracs and old fashioneds. Or, for a more relaxed feel, simply over ice and or with tonic.
