A Limited-Edition Napoleon Blend
Napoleon is the connoisseur's in-between grade — older than VSOP, younger than XO — and Bou Rare Reserve sits squarely there: a limited-edition blend of eaux-de-vie from across the Cognac crus, classified by the cognac reference Cognac-Expert in the Napoleon age category. It is the bottle for drinkers who have outgrown VSOP and want XO-adjacent depth without the XO price. Explore the cognac collection at Del Mesa Liquor or see more from Bou Cognac.
Tasting Notes
In the Napoleon category, expect deeper barrel character than a standard VSOP — more oak-derived complexity, dried fruit and spice from a minimum of six years in cask. (Specific tasting notes for this bottling could not be verified from an official source.)
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat in a snifter or over one large cube — a Napoleon-grade cognac is built for slow, after-dinner sipping.
