Pierre Ferrand Single Cask Collection Cognac 2001
Pierre Ferrand Single Cask Collection Cognac 2001 is a vintage-dated, single-cask Cognac from the Grande Champagne cru — distilled in 2001, matured over two decades in French oak, and bottled at natural cask strength (49.7% ABV) without filtration or dilution. Ugni Blanc-led eaux-de-vie from Cognac's premier cru give it the structure to age gracefully; two decades in oak give it dried fruit, honey, spice and the deep rancio character collectors prize. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

One Cask, One Vintage, No Compromise
Pierre Ferrand's Single Cask Collection exists for a simple idea: show what a great cognac tastes like with nothing taken away — no blending across casks, no dilution to 40%, no chill filtration. The 2001 bottling draws from a single cask of Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, the first and most prized cru, and lets the vintage speak: dried apricot and honey, toasted oak, warm spice and that deep, nutty rancio that only long barrel time develops. Because each cask is its own release, no two vintages pour exactly alike. Browse Pierre Ferrand, explore cognac, or see more from the brandy shelf.
Tasting Notes
Nose: rich and complex — dried apricot, honey, toasted oak, vanilla and a distinctive rancio character. Palate: full-bodied and textured — stone fruit, warm spice, leather, caramel and aged wood. Finish: long, natural and deeply expressive, with lingering fruit, spice and oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature — this is a cognac made for contemplation. A drop of water is optional at cask strength. Pair with aged hard cheeses, dark chocolate, dried fruit and nuts, or a walnut dessert.
