Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge (SRP $39.99)
- Created in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is the flagship of the brand and combines the intensity of tropical bitter orange with the character of cognac. The recipe, which has not changed since it was first created, results in a liqueur with powerful aromas and flavors. This refined liqueur contains 40% ABV (51% cognac and 49% orange liqueur).
-
Taste: Full and ample; bitter orange aromas balanced by cognac notes of hazelnuts and toffee. The finish is long and harmonious.
