Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal is an exceptionally smooth take on Rémy Martin’s signature style. Its mellow body, oaky notes of butterscotch and baked spices come from a unique process of aging eaux-de-vie in new French oak casks that were toasted using a long and soft heating process. The story starts with a royal approval in 1738, King Louis XV granted Rémy Martin the right to expand his vineyards, at a time of land scarcity. As an homage to this ultimate recognition, the house created an exceptionally oaky and smooth blend: 1738 Accord Royal.
Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in classic cocktails.

This Cognac has a deep amber hue and bold allspice and caramel aromas. The palate opens with concentrated caramel and toffee, winding into a deep, warming finish dusted with espresso, black pepper and clove.
Widely regarded as the finest and most complex grape-based spirit in the world, Cognac follows rigorously strict production guidelines. It is made exclusively of wine—most commonly from Ugni Blanc—from the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions surrounding the town of Cognac in southwestern France. After a second distillation in antique copper pot stills (called charentais), the spirit is transferred to French oak barrels and aged a minimum of two years (VS). Cognac is classified by both age and region (Cru). The Grande Champagne Cru and Petite Champagne Cru, both having shallow limestone soils, are the most respected.
