Larsen Aqua Ignis cognac is the world’s first cognac aged in steam-toasted barrels for a distinctive festive twist. Each French oak cask is plunged into hot water then toasted over fire three times. This innovative technique releases the most complex and finest aromas from the wood. With elegant notes of roasted mocha and vanilla, Larsen Aqua Ignis is a truly special addition to the Christmas drinks cabinet.
The multi-award-winning cognac (RRP £38) is crafted in small batches using fine grain French oak casks, which undergo an innovative process of being plunged into hot water and toasted over fire three times. This Steam-Fire technique creates a rich amber hue and complex aromas, including notes of roasted mocha and vanilla—perfect for an elegant festive experience.
The name Aqua Ignis comes from the Latin words for ‘water’ and ‘fire,’ symbolising the combination of these elements pushed to their limits. The process is legally protected, unlocking intricate flavours while avoiding unwanted smoky or tannic notes. Bottled at 42.3%, it reveals deep aromas of candied fruits, coffee, and vanilla, making it an ideal addition to the Christmas drinks cabinet.
For those looking to surprise discerning loved ones with something truly special, Aqua Ignis offers a memorable and distinctive gift.
Larsen Aqua Ignis is available to purchase from Master of Malt.
