Courvoisier® Cognac Introduces Avant-Garde Bourbon Cask Edition

CHICAGO, Feb. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Courvoisier® Cognac, the most awarded cognac house*, today announces the launch of the Courvoisier® Avant-Garde Series with the release of Bourbon Cask Edition. Available for a limited time, the latest expression is made of award-winning VS liquid finished in Kentucky Bourbon casks to offer a smooth yet bold taste.

"We're thrilled to release Avant-Garde Bourbon Cask Edition, a first-of-its-kind expression for the House of Courvoisier," said Stephanie Kang, Senior Marketing Director for Courvoisier. "With the help of our local artisans and winegrowers in our hometown of Jarnac, we were able to develop an innovation that is sure to appeal to cognac and bourbon drinkers alike."

Courvoisier Avant-Garde Bourbon Cask Edition is the first expression within the Avant-Garde series to be released for a limited time. The spirit drink begins with the brand's award-winning VS blend that is then aged to taste in Kentucky Bourbon barrels. This extra aging creates an elegant and velvety finish with tasting notes of vanilla, honey and sweet marmalade. Courvoisier's Master Blender Patrice Pinet and Master Distiller Benoît DeSutter worked tirelessly to bring this first-of-its-kind blend for the brand to market, and proudly placed their signatures on each bottle of Avant-Garde Bourbon Cask Edition. Courvoisier's Avant-Garde Bourbon Cask will be available at a suggested retail price of $39.99 for a 750mL bottle.

The House of Courvoisier was founded by Louis Gallois and Emmanuel Courvoisier based on their belief in the power of the collective. It is this conviction that inspired Courvoisier to nurture close relationships with respected artisans and winegrowers to produce its high quality, award-winning Cognac since 1828.  Courvoisier Cognac has several expressions, which appeal to a variety of Cognac preferences and lifestyles, including VS, VSOP, XO, Initiale Extra, and the ultimate expression of the House, L'Essence de Courvoisier.
