A limited edition for 2017, 'Renegade Barrel No.2' is made with Pierre Ferrand Cognac that's first aged in oak barrels and then matured in a barrel made from the wood of chestnut tree. Surprisingly, the practice of using chestnut barrels for cognac has been neglected since 1945, and was not included in subsequent Cognac AOC regulation - hence this nectar must be classed as an eau-de-vie de vin and not a cognac.
The unique method of maturation in Chesnut wood barrel marvelously enhances the honeyed, candied fruits and floral notes present in this eau-de-vie. At 47% abv, its is complex, rich, flavourful and intense.

Long aging process in seasoned casks produces the noteworthy mineral character and a harmonious, smooth and coherent array of aromas. Elegant, floral, and mineral style with notes of creamy milk chocolate, orange zest and a touch of spice. Fruity grapes on the finish.

A combination of soleras of Gran Duque de Alba and Gran Duque de Alba Oro. Final ageing takes place in American oak casks which have previously aged Don Guido, a famed Pedro Ximenez sherry with a certified age of 20 years. Mahogany to ebony in color, very bright, intense on the nose with notes of raisin, grape, plum and vanilla. Hints of antique furniture varnish characteristic of long years of ageing. Full, complex and velvety on the palate with candied fruit and caramel and an intense lingering aftertaste.
