- Description
- This 2023 edition of Courvoisier Mizunara, a collaboration between Courvoisier's Thibaut Hontanx and Suntory's Shinji Fukuyo, blends Grande Champagne cognacs aged in rare Japanese mizunara oak at 48% ABV. The second release shows pronounced Japanese oak influence—coconut, blonde tobacco, sandalwood, and honeycomb—creating an aromatic profile distinct from traditional Cognac but rooted in the house's blending expertise. This limited expression appeals to collectors exploring the intersection of French and Japanese barrel craft and those seeking unique aromatic complexity.
