Inspiration 60 - The Cask Strength Collection - Cognac Drouet

The Cask Strength Collection is a collection of rare, unreduced cognacs. Patrick Drouet fell in love with these eaux-de-vie, their personality and their unique flavours, and naturally chose not to blend them, to age them separately and to bottle them by hand. These cognacs will win you over with their originality, their aromatic richness and their natural character.

This unique and rare cognac is the result of eaux-de-vie distilled in the 1960s from 1er cru Grande Champagne, the limestone terroir that produces eaux-de-vie of great aromatic complexity. The very small batch of Inspiration 60 is offered by Patrick Drouet at its raw cask strength, in order to respect the work of time. Unfiltered, it is bottled by hand.

Inspiration 60 has a powerful nose, dominated by jammy notes of stone fruit. The palate is incredibly complex and rich, with aromas of plum, prune, peach, quince, vanilla and a hint of sweet spices. A great deal of elegance, smoothness and a very long finish make this an exceptional cognac.

Patrick Drouet is the 4th generation to run the family estate, founded in 1848 by Jean L'Homme. He is both master distiller and cellar master.
