Tasting Notes

Possibly the best known and most prestigious French liqueur in the world. Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is delicate blend of fine Cognacs from the best growing areas, and distilled essence of wild tropical oranges. Bright topaz colour, with brilliant gold and amber hues. Attractive orange notes on the nose with nuances of candied zest; vanilla flavours from the cognac. Full and ample flavours; bitter orange aroma is balanced by cognac notes of hazelnut and toffee. The finish is long and well-balanced.

Grand Marnier is a French liqueur producer established in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. The company combines cognac with bitter orange essences to create their signature orange-flavored liqueur. Based in France, Grand Marnier operates from facilities in Bourg-Charente and maintains a distillery in Neauphle-le-Château.

The production process involves blending aged cognac with distilled essence of tropical bitter oranges, primarily from Haiti and Brazil. The cognac component comes from the Grande and Petite Champagne regions of Cognac, providing the spirit's refined base. This marriage of cognac and citrus creates a liqueur with both the complexity of aged grape brandy and the bright aromatics of bitter orange peel.

Cordon Rouge represents Grand Marnier's flagship expression, featuring a blend of cognacs aged in Limousin oak barrels. This amber-colored liqueur serves as both a digestif and a cocktail ingredient, notably appearing in classics like the Grand Margarita and Sidecar variations.
