The first cognac in the world aged in steam-toasted barrels
Each cask, made of traditional French oak, is plunged into hot water then toasted over hot fire, three times. This technique releases the most complex and finest aromas from the wood while keeping out undesired smoky notes, tannins and acidity.
The very special distillation procedure is a crucial part of Larsen Cognac style: after vinification a rapid distillation of the wines takes place without the lees, in order to preserve the original fruity aromas of the grapes and produce eaux-de-vie of superior elegance and finesse.
Particular attention is paid to the “coeur de la bonne chauffe,” that crucial moment in the life of a Larsen Cognac when the master distiller tastes the eaux-de-vie to select only the very finest – the tiny proportion which will be transferred to oak barrels.
Larsen Viking Ship Cognac, also known as “Drakkar”, is a precious collector’s item. Limited edition abailable now at Nordic Spirits. The cognac is a very special blend using the elegant aromas from the two first cognac growths, Grande and Petite Champagne.
