Created to recapture the spirit of the quintessential cocktail days of the 1800s, Pierre Ferrand Cognac 1840 Original Formula <http://www.pierreferrandcognac.com> is a revival of the classic three-star Cognac. This eminently mixable Cognac, created by Cognac Ferrand president Alexandre Gabriel with help from cocktail historian David Wondrich, had its U.S. debut in New Orleans at last year’s Tales of the Cocktail. New Orleans was chosen as the launch city because it’s a town famous for its Cognac cocktails, from the days of the old Sazerac saloon and even before, and to celebrate the Big Easy’s preeminent cocktail event, Tales of the Cocktail. More information about the launch, including cocktails, can be found here http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/7/prweb8635721.htm <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/7/prweb8635721.htm>
“We admire what Ann and Paul have done for the cocktail industry which is without measure. Ann and Paul really know, understand, and love Cognac – this is very meaningful to us. And they recognize the importance of Cognac for cocktails,” says Alexandre Gabriel, owner and president of Cognac Ferrand and creator of Pierre Ferrand 1840. “For them on this special anniversary, we were thrilled to create a unique and special bottling of Pierre Ferrand 1840, which has done so well for us since launching at Tales last year. We raise a cocktail to Ann and Paul and wish them a very happy 10th anniversary.”
