Product description
The story of Larsen cognac dates back to 1926. Jens Reidar Larsen, 24 years old Norwegian, boarded ship destined for America in 1919.
But a long stopover in Bordeaux to repair the boat changed his destiny; Jens Reidar tried to make some money and found a job in a small town of Charente famous for the quality of its eaux-de-vie. He soon married a local girl and became an expert on Cognac. Today the third generation of the family runs the business, Le Cognac des Vikings S.A. Larsen Extra OR was launched in October 2017. It has been crafted by Robert Andrieux, Larsen master blender, and it comprises the oldest and the best eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne cognac regions.
