Description
Owner and master distiller Alexandre Gabriel of Ferrand found inspiration for the Selection des Anges Cognac in the traditions of winemaking and cognac production in the Grande Champagne region, the suitability of its terroir and climate, as well as the rich heritage of cognac production and aging. SDA is crafted from 100% ugni blanc grapes. The average age of the eaux-de-vie is over 25 years. Both older and younger eaux-de-vie enhance the aromatic complexity of the spirit. Ferrand Selection des Anges, or Angels’ Share, refers to the portion of the eaux-de-vie that evaporates during barrel aging. SDA matures for decades in damp cellars, their darkened walls bearing witness to this heavenly nectar’s journey to the skies. The ornate metal stopper on the bottle pays homage to Maison Ferrand’s former owner, Elie Ferrand. The stopper is a replica of the handle of his walking stick, thus guarding the treasure within the bottle.
