Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge 1970s-1980s

Older Vintage Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, Bottled in the 1970s-1980s. Imported to the USA by Carillon Importers, New York

Grand Marnier is a cognac-based orange liqueur known for its high proof and punchy flavors. Notes of orange zest, vanilla bean, and burnt orange create a structured and concentrated palate.

While the ingredients in Grand Marnier are fairly simple—Caribbean-sourced bigarade oranges and cognac—each requires quite a bit of care and time. The oranges are picked while still green in order to preserve a snappy bitterness to their flavor, peeled with the pith carefully removed, and then sun-dried. They’re shipped to the distillery, macerated in a neutral grape-based spirit, and then redistilled in a column still to make the orange liqueur. Cognac, of course, has its own restrictive set of production rules, requiring certain grapes from certain areas of Cognac, a still type (copper pot still), barrel type for aging, and a minimum amount of aging. For its base spirit, Grand Marnier sources from around 400 grower-distillers, which get blended to achieve the desired outcome. This is how Louis-Alexander Marnier made the spirit in 1880, and it’s still made that way today—just lots more of it.
