Braastad X Stéphane Dupuis Limited Edition Cognac
The Braastad X Stéphane Dupuis Limited Edition is a unique collaboration between the renowned Cognac house Braastad and Marseille-based artist Stéphane Dupuis. Created in partnership with the Salon National des Beaux-Arts and Caractères Paris, this exclusive release is limited to only 1862 individually numbered bottles. This Cognac stands out with its intense amber color and deep mahogany and copper reflections.
The nose reveals a refined blend of dried fruits such as apricot and fig, complemented by mild spices like cinnamon, along with hints of leather and cocoa. The palate is rich and silky, delivering notes of candied fruits, honey, roasted hazelnuts, and precious wood. The finish is remarkably long, warm, and elegant, leaving behind subtle hints of blond tobacco.
Presentation of the bottle
The bottle itself is a true work of art, featuring an exclusive design by Stéphane Dupuis. The front showcases a modern, artistic depiction of a gentleman dressed in a striped suit, seemingly taking a selfie, a nod to contemporary digital culture. The background presents bold, geometric patterns in deep blue and orange, giving the bottle a striking, modern aesthetic. The Cognac is encased in a sleek, rounded decanter with a dark wooden cap and a navy blue label, reinforcing its premium character. This collector’s edition seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, making it an eye-catching centerpiece for any Cognac enthusiast.
How to drink
To fully appreciate the depth of flavors in the Braastad X Stéphane Dupuis Cognac, it is best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass. This allows the aromas to develop fully, enhancing the tasting experience. For those who prefer a slight chill, a drop of water or a single ice cube can gently open up the Cognac without diluting its complexity.
