Acquire a rare liquid relic with this vintage E. Normandin & Co. “Tradition” Cognac”. This mid-century bottling represents the classic era of the historic Normandin house in Charente, France, offering a profile that is increasingly difficult to source for fine spirit collections.
-
Authenticated Provenance: This specimen is uniquely marked with a handwritten date of 1966 on the neck label, providing significant historical context. It features original Italian import tax markings (“Imposta Fabbricazione”) from the Rome district, used during the 1950s and 60s.
-
Historical Strength: Labeled at the traditional 70 Proof (40% ABV) using old Imperial measurements, this bottle is a perfect example of high-end export standards from the post-war era.
-
Artisanal Glassware: The heavy, dark green glass bottle is marked with the traditional “DEPOSE” mold on the base, a hallmark of authentic vintage French spirits production.
-
Exceptional Fill & Condition: Despite its age, the bottle retains a high fill level (ullage) and its original red foil capsule and tax strip are remarkably well-preserved.
-
Tasting Character: Cognacs from this era are prized by connoisseurs for their intense “rancio” notes—expect a complex palate of honeyed oak, dried apricots, tobacco, and a deep, warming spice.
