Revamp the overdone Espresso Martini with Grand Brulot, a coffee Cognac with a kick! Yes, that’s right, coffee + French VSOP Cognac. Grand Brulot boasts flavorful Ecuadorian robusta coffee beans while balancing the notes of nutmeg and vanilla in French VSOP Cognac for a delightful imbibe experience.
Grand Brulot revives a 200 plus year old French tradition where rich Coffee was blended with Cognac to create an exquisite tasting drink: The Brulôt.
