Delamain Cognac was founded in 1824 and is one of the last family-owned cognac firms. Delamain specializes in aged cognacs from the heart of the Grande Champagne region. The cognacs are aged in separate casks, blended and then aged an additional two years so that the flavors can marry. The Tres Venerable is aged 45-55 years in well-seasoned French oak casks and are naturally smooth due to the extended aging. It is 100% Grande Champagne Cognac and has a deep topaz color and a taste of dried fruits, licorice and mellowed oak. It comes in a traditional bottle for around $240 or in a carafe that features a medallion in Limoges china with that features a design of grape bearers based on a 17th Century Delft tile.
