Grand Marnier appears brilliant topaz tones with amber hues. Pleasant orange notes with hints of candied peel present on the nose along with light aromas of vanilla fragrance from the cognac. Fragrant orange flavors on the palate are enhanced by the cognac with nuances of orange essence and hazelnuts and a lingering and harmonious finish.
Created in 1880 by founder Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is a premium blend of cognacs with wild tropical oranges from the Caribbean. Louis-Alexandre’s vision of blending the essence of wild tropical oranges with fine cognac from France was unconventional and truly the earliest form of spirits innovation of its time.
