A cognac like no other, aged in steam-toasted barrels for a festive twist
As the festive season draws near, Larsen’s Aqua Ignis cognac offers a refined choice for those seeking a unique gift. As the world’s first cognac aged in steam-toasted barrels, Aqua Ignis brings a distinctive twist to Christmas celebrations.
The multi-award-winning cognac (RRP £38) is crafted in small batches using fine grain French oak casks, which undergo an innovative process of being plunged into hot water and toasted over fire three times. This Steam-Fire technique creates a rich amber hue and complex aromas, including notes of roasted mocha and vanilla—perfect for an elegant festive experience.
The name Aqua Ignis comes from the Latin words for ‘water’ and ‘fire,’ symbolising the combination of these elements pushed to their limits. The process is legally protected, unlocking intricate flavours while avoiding unwanted smoky or tannic notes. Bottled at 42.3%, it reveals deep aromas of candied fruits, coffee, and vanilla, making it an ideal addition to the Christmas drinks cabinet.
For those looking to surprise discerning loved ones with something truly special, Aqua Ignis offers a memorable and distinctive gift.
Larsen Aqua Ignis is available to purchase from Master of Malt.
