Martell Cordon Bleu Limited Edition Year of the Goat 2027
40% ABV (80 proof) | 1L | Cognac, Borderies-led blend — Martell Cordon Bleu Limited Edition Year of the Goat 2027 is the Lunar New Year celebration of the house's icon: Cordon Bleu, the legendary blend created in 1912 by Edmond Martell, built around eaux-de-vie from the Borderies — the smallest and most precious of Cognac's crus, known for smooth, round, candied-fruit character. Over 100 eaux-de-vie go into the blend, aged in fine-grained oak casks, for a cognac of remarkable complexity. 2027 is the Year of the Goat in the Chinese zodiac, and this limited-edition presentation marks the occasion. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The profile is pure Cordon Bleu: candied plum and apple, roasted notes of mocha and toasted almonds, a smooth, mellow, deep finish — "a burst of fruit and spice that gives way to an elegant roundness" (Maison Martell). Among cognacs, Cordon Bleu is the reference point for Borderies-led blending — and the Lunar New Year editions are the ones collectors chase. Serve neat in a tulip glass; the 1L format is the celebration size.
