Delamain Description
Vesper is a blend of 30-35 year old Grande Champagne cognacs. It is blended to create a classic style, very full, mature and notably refined, feminine cognac. Vesper has a full bodied roundness matched by a remarkable finish on the palate.
Delamain does not grow grapes, but purchases young eaux-de-vie from trusted grower/distillers who offer their finest spirits for evaluation after each harvest. The selected spirits are aged separately in 350-liter oak barrels called roux rather than new oak, which would lend too much tannin. After 30 to 35 years of aging, the Cognac is blended, then allowed to age 2 years further to marry the flavors and textures of its components. Lastly, prior to bottling, Delamain will use older lower-proof cognac to bring down the alcohol content to consumption level, rather than adding distilled water which would compromise the rich flavor.
TASTING NOTE
Vesper offers an initially oaky bouquet followed by an intense fragrance. On the palate it is very mellow, with feminine floral and spice aromas giving way to woody herbs, raisins and other dried fruits and vanilla.
FOOD PAIRING
The highest-quality Cognac is usually enjoyed after dinner as a contemplative drink. It should be served at cool room temperature or slightly chilled and allowed to warm in the glass, slowly releasing waves of aroma. Pour about 1 inch of Cognac into a thin tulip-shaped glass. Pause to smell the aromas, then take small sips to appreciate the Cognac’s smooth texture, its expressive layers of flavor and its lengthy finish. Cognac connoisseurs enjoy its aromas long after the glass is empty.
