Product description
The Meukow House was founded in 19th Century. In 1850, Auguste-Christophe and Gustav Meukow, two brothers from Silesia, were sent to France by Tsar Alexander II of Russia with orders to secure supply of cognac for the court.
After several voyages, they decided to set up a commercial office in the town of Cognac and founded A.C Meukow & Co. on August 1, 1862. In 1979 Meukow became part of the Compagnie de Guyenne founded in 1969 by Michel Coste. Since 1993 Meukow cognacs are presented in unique “feline bottles” adorned with a panther, which became an icon for the brand. Meukow XO is a blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Bons Bois and Fins Bois. It scored Gold at the 2013 Cognac Masters.
