Meukow
VS Cognac dates back to the 1860s, and was founded by two Russian
brothers, Auguste-Christophe and Gustave Meukow, who were originally sent to
France to purchase Cognac for the Tsar. Meukow went from strength to strength
and by the 20th century had become one of the major players in the Cognac
industry.
The
company is well known for the distinctive leaping puma featured on their
bottles. They are also known for producing a high quality spirit, distilled
from Ugni Blanc grapes.
This
bottling is an excellent introduction to the Meukow style, serving up notes of
rich dried fruits, cream, toasted oak, spices, dark honey, nutmeg, vanilla,
slight chocolate and bright fresh grapes.
