After mulling over (i.e., tasting) several versions new of orange-flavored brandies, I have a current list of my faves:
Remaining on the list is Mandarine Napoleon with excellent tangerine aromas that greatly enhance the whole experience.
For a fun aperitif from Armagnac: La Grande Josiane over ice, a very nice mélange of orange and Armagnac.
For the fall, you probably already have Grand Marnier liqueur in your home bar: a quality item for over a century. The next step (taking the pricepoint up a significant notch) will be Grand Marnier’s new Cuvée1880, a tribute to the year Grand Marnier was created by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle. Cognac is the star of this cuvée, which is a “blend of aged, premium Grande Champagne XO Cognac and wild tropical orange parfum.”
