Cognac & coffee liqueur calls on Merlet’s expertise as both distillers and liqueur-makers, and showcases two after-dinner classics. Merlet partnered with Merling, a local coffee roaster from La Rochelle to select the origin and variety of the coffee (Brazilian Arabica) but also to work directly with freshly roasted coffee.
TASTING NOTES:
COLOR: Intense and deep brown.
NOSE: The nose is powerful, starting with notes of hot coffee, roasted "toast" aromas, and vanilla. The cognac follows and delicately complements the aromatic palette.
PALATE: The palate is round and smooth with a very nice length. Flavors of coffee, spices, and vanilla are prominent, enhanced by a hint of cocoa. The combination of cognac and coffee liqueur reveals a perfect harmony.
