5. Larsen Cognac Aqua Ignis III
Larsen Cognac introduces Aqua Ignis III, a cognac aged in French oak barrels with a capacity of 225 liters that have been first plunged into hot water then toasted over hot fire, a process repeated three times. The water treatment prevents the barrel from burning, keeps out undesired smoky notes and creates more vanilla and mocha oak tannins. Eaux-de-vie from the Fins Bois and Bons Bois vineyards go through a two-step ageing process: first aged in traditional oak barrels, then blended and put in Aqua Ignis III barrels. Bottled at 42.3 percent ABV.
