Presented in an individually numbered, hand-cut, Lalique crystal decanter, only 200 of which were produced.

On the nose are aromas of honeyed fruits and cinnamon. The palate is silky smooth, revealing dominant flavours of dried fruits, particularly apricots. Alongside hints of Christmas cake and honey. Held in the mouth, this grows spicier and nuttier, with hints of orange peel, dark chocolate and spices. 

This bottle of Courvoisier L’Esprit de Cognac does not come with a box.  Hence the bargain price.
