Description
A Rare Single Cask Masterpiece: Louis Royer 23 Year Old Southwest Spirits is proud to present a true rarity from the historic house of Louis Royer. Founded in 1853 and still symbolized by the family's honeybee emblem, this house is renowned for its deep cellars and exceptional aging.
Why this bottle is a collector’s priority:
Single Cask Release: Most Cognacs are a blend of multiple barrels. This expression is drawn from a single, exceptional cask, preserving the unique character of that specific barrel's 23-year maturation.
Limited Edition: Only 500 bottles were produced globally. This is Bottle Number 214.
Grande Champagne Provenance: Sourced exclusively from the "Premier Cru" of Cognac, known for producing spirits with the greatest aging potential and most complex floral bouquets.
High Strength: Bottled at 43% ABV, slightly higher than the standard 40%, allowing the intricate rancio and oak notes to shine.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A sophisticated "twirl" of dried apricots, plums, and peaches, evolving into deeper notes of oak, leather, and fine tobacco.
Palate: A sweet, silky introduction followed by dark fruits, rich spice, and well-integrated tannins from the French Limousin oak.
Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and lingering—the hallmark of a 23-year-old Grande Champagne.
