Brothers Blend is the first cognac that the Merlet family produced under its own name in 2010. When Pierre and Luc joined their father Gilles in the business in 2006, they decided to work on their own bottled cognac. To pay homage to this first father and sons collaboration, they gave the name of Brothers Blend to it. It is an elegant and fruit forward type of cognac, with soft and light wood notes, due to the ageing in mostly old barrels. It is made of a blend of eaux-de-vie of minimum 4 years old, up to 10 years old, mostly from the Fins Bois cru, with about one fifth of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. The delicate profile of Brothers Blend makes it a very versatile cognac, very approachable for sipping, as well as a very good mixing base for cocktails.
