Anatomy of the Bottle - Aqua Ignis

EMBRACING THE ELEMENTS

Creator Jens Reidar Larsen was on a ship destined for the Americas, but a long stopover in Bordeaux changed his destiny. He finds himself a little further north in a small town famous for its eau-de-vie, marries a local girl, and creates Larsen Cognac.

Larsen Aqua Ignis is the first cognac in the world that is aged using a proprietary Steam-Fire Process. Each cask is plunged into hot water then toasted over hot fire, three times. This technique releases the most complex and finest aromas from the wood. Bottled at 42.3%, the result is a unique cognac with intense aromas of roasted mocha and vanilla with a silky finish.

Aqua Ignis

Water (aqua) and fire (ignis) in Latin, or the combination of water and fire being pushed to their limits in making steamtoasted barrels.

The two-step aging process starts in traditional oak barrels. Once extracted, the eaux-de-vie are blended then aged in smallbatch, fine-grain, French oak barrels bearing the name Aqua Ignis III.
