Pierre Ferrand 1840 Original Formula Cognac, produced in France, is designed to evoke mid-19th-century cognacs. It is based on a bottle of 1840 Pinet-Castillon and created using blending techniques from that era.
The elongated finish tapers off with plentiful sweet spices, drying to a cigar wrapper hint. It's fairly hot if sipped straight, but stands up nicely in cocktails, as intended.
