The Vesper has an average age of 35 year old, 100% Grande Champagne Cognac, from a selection local growers-distillers. Each cognac is aged seperately and longer than for the Pale and Dry, owing to their origin and then the blend itself, made at the end of the ageing period, and aged for two years more (marraige). Mutured in well seasoned Limousin oak casks and cellared ont he old cellars near the river, more humid than dry. A style of roundness, body, length, maturity and mellowness. A bouquet with the power of perfumes, a length of fragrance and suavity. Scents of underwood, dry vine shots and vanilla (rancio).

Delamain Très Vénérable Grande Champagne Cognac is blended from a range of Cognacs averaging 45 to 50 years of age, which have been reduced by natural evaporation to approximately 45 percent alcohol by volume. It is brought to 40 percent consumption strength by the gradual addition of 'vieilles faibles, 'very old, weak Grande Champagne Cognacs showing a natural alcohol content of 15 percent. The unusual label design is taken from a French Revolutionary bank note. Introduced in 1976, this rare Cognac inspires the respect and reverence its name, and age, suggest. Brilliant deep topaz in colour with gold highlights, its profound, complex bouquet reveals subtle nuances of dried fruits, licorice and mellowed oak. An initial freshness and delicacy on the palate unfold into a rich, palette of mature flavours underscored by sophisticated 'rancio', notes of fruitcake and cheese. A Cognac of perfect balance with exceptional length on the finish. Extraordinary delicacy in a rich, full flavoured cognac. Floral spice aromas give way to complex scents of underwood, raisins, vanilla, licorice and honey.
