In the past 10 years, The Maison Comandon has won the most prestigious recognitions from the leading Spirits Competitions. In fact, it has won the title of "BEST COGNAC" in the World Spirits Competition in 2010 and in 2014.
Every year it increasingly gains more awards and accolades from the experts. In December 2011, it won "most outstanding spirit" in America from the leading industry magazine "Tasting Panel Magazine". These types of recognition are unprecedented in the spirit industry for a boutique cognac house.
Comandon is mostly recognized for its consistency and well-balanced smoothness by experts all over the world. We are very proud to be looked up for these two specific qualities because we believe they epitomize what a super premium cognac is.

Tasting Notes
On the nose stone fruit leather is bright and tangy alongside sweet pear aromas. Supple and silky on the palate, flavors of white tea, fresh cut flowers, fresh pears and meyer lemons all intermix well. Clean, crisp and delightful.

Aromas are light and pretty with plenty of white flowers and apple blossoms. Smooth and consistent in the mouth with flavors starting out as white peach then turning to cinnamon infused caramel on the long finish.
