Thirty Years in Wood, Nothing Added, Nothing Taken Away
Gregarious Grump began as a way to bring remarkable spirits to the Houston Whiskey Social — and its founding principle is radical transparency: bottle straight from the cask, never chill filter, never add water, and tell you exactly what is in the bottle. This 30-year Fins Bois is the flagship of that philosophy: three decades of French oak concentration, bottled at the strength it came out of the barrel. Fins Bois eaux-de-vie are prized for their round, fruit-driven character that deepens beautifully with long aging, and at 52.9% ABV this one arrives with the full force of its maturity intact.

Tasting Notes
Nose: In the Gregarious Grump house style — bold and high-proof, with deep oak, dried fruit and honeyed intensity lifted from the glass.
Palate: Full-strength and concentrated: expect profound oak influence, candied and dried fruit, and the rich, oily texture of three decades in barrel.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering wood spice and the unmistakable authority of cask-strength cognac.
How to Enjoy
Pour neat into a tulip glass and give it time — a 30-year cask-strength cognac rewards patience. A few drops of water will open the fruit and soften the proof, but never add ice to something this old and this pure. Built for slow evenings and serious cognac drinkers.
