Our single-owner consignor is a couple from the Greater Toronto Area who have travelled the world collecting fine wine and spirits. The spirits for this auction were sourced both through licensed retailers in Canada and abroad. They have taken great care to store their spirits properly, upright in temperature/humidity-controlled home cellar away from sunlight. Preferring to remain anonymous, our consignor couple has a passion to collect rare and valuable bottles from different regions, eras, and styles. They both enjoy scotch whisky especially and started collecting out of curiosity and appreciation of the history and complexity of the spirit. As true collectors they share their spirits and travel stories with friends, family and those who want to learn about the spirit.

The origin of the eaux-de-vie that makes this Cognac very rare dating back to the 1870's, the Pre-phylloxera days!!! Released in 1970's, this is the first release of Hardy Perfection. The cognac in this bottle is approximately 140 years old including pre-phylloxra cognac. Presented in a magnificent Daum Crystal decanter and stopper. Embossed wax capsule seals the cognac and housed in a formidable wooden case. This Cognac comes from the area known today as Grande Champagne. Its grapes are composed of a 100% French Colombard and this eaux-de-vie is pure and unblended at a natural strength of 41% volume. Hints of Chocolate and coffee, big oak and great balance adds to the complexity. A rare Cognac for those who demand the finest! When Perfection is gone, c'est fini, for it can never be duplicated.
