Larsen Cognac is created for those who are explorers at heart, who are on a mission to learn new things and find new perspectives. For those who seek excitement in unexpected places, a great cognac is always a discovery. We have believed in this since 1926, and it still holds true today.
The very special distillation procedure is a crucial part of Larsen Cognac style: after vinification a double distillation of the wines takes place without the lees, in order to preserve the original fruity aromas of the grapes and produce eaux-de-vie of superior elegance and finesse.
Particular attention is paid to the “coeur de la bonne chauffe,” that crucial moment in the life of a Larsen Cognac when the master distiller tastes the eaux-de-vie to select only the very finest – the tiny proportion which will be transferred to oak barrels.

The most fundamental step in the whole process is ageing, that rare metamorphosis which takes place in the barrel cellar: eau-de-vie matures and becomes great cognac.
Larsen’s barrels are crafted from fine-grained sessile oak sourced from France’s Tronçais forest. These ancient trees are relatively low in tannins, and the very light toast used by the cooperage ensures that the barrels conform to the very precise vision that Jens Reidar Larsen set out for his Cognacs.

Larsen Cognac has nearly one hundred years of experience in the craft. We master the whole process – from distillation, ageing, and blending to bottling and distribution. Knowing the craft and traditions in detail, we also know where we can push the boundaries and innovate. Over the years we have used our unique know-how to create new products and experiences that have challenged the idea of what cognac can be all about. Traditional craftsmanship paired with fresh thinking. That is our DNA.
