intense with richly fragrant with fruity notes of ripe apricot and citrus followed by vanilla "rancio", accompanied with further tantalizing intensity. Light and delicate palate developing into fruit with a delectable, powdery dry finish.

House of Delamain, founded in 1824, specialises in selecting and ageing old cognacs sourced exclusively from the “Grande Champagne” region. Based in Jarnac for over two centuries, the Delamain family is dedicated to the preservation of the traditions, heritage and standards necessary to the masterful crafting of fine cognacs.

In 1920, brothers Jacques and Robert Delamain set out to create a cognac that embodied the spirit of a blossoming, modern new age; one that captured the beauty, art and essence of the natural world. A Cognac enlightenment that they would name simply Pale & Dry.

Little might they have imagined at the dawn of that most remarkable decade, that their liquid ode to light and nature, a cognac so ahead of its time as to be timeless and so embedded in principle, that it would remain as relevant today as it was at its creation. Then, as now, a modern classic. 

Over 100 years later, we celebrate their transformative creation, a Cognac that defied convention with its ethereal lightness and elegance.
