- Description
- Otard's 1795-founded cognac house operates from Cognac's only royal château, a 10th-century fortress with Scottish roots tracing back to the exiled King James II. This 1940s bottling at 40% ABV represents the liqueur expression from the prestigious Baron Otard estate. The extended aging in oak has developed rich, honeyed complexity with subtle spice notes characteristic of traditional cognac production. This vintage bottling suits collectors seeking historical examples of pre-modern cognac bottling standards.
