Kelt VSOP "Tour du monde"
Geplaatst: di 10 aug 2010, 14:24
Heb gisteren in de Duty Free een fles "Kelt VSOP Tour du Monde" meegenomen, omdat de fles (0.7l) er leuk uitzag en het een aanbieding was (net 30 euro).
Voor ik hem openmaak - kent iemand deze cognac?
Het internet weet dit: Deze cognacs gaan op wereldreis! Van de website: "...In the 18th century, all spirits were shipped in oak barrels. It was found that the spirits developed in an astonishing way during the long sea voyages from Europe to the new world. At that time, the effects of a sea voyage on spirits were barely known. Now, some 200 years later, we know much more about the technical and chemical aspects of the aging process and the phenomenal results which flow from the sea having the chance to work its magic on the spirits ..... we return to the 18th century to give the final touch of maturation to our spirits. We send them, in oak barrels, once around the world on a three month sea voyage – the Tour du Monde OCEAN MATURATION. ..... the spirits move constantly with the rolling of the ship. Every molecule of the liquid is in contact with the oak wood repeatedly each day. There are huge variations in temperature, and often extreme heat. The high temperatures persuade the wood to impart the finest of its lignin into the spirits. The constant changes in temperature and air pressure also enable the wood to expand and contract, thereby varying the oxygenation of the spirits. The evaporation increases considerably as does the quality. The »edges« are rounded off and the spirit becomes much more mellow and subtle. This is reflected in both the nose and the taste. Due to the constant movement, temperature and air-pressure variations the molecular structure is rearranged, marrying the blend in a formidable way.
Is dit nou marketing of zis hier echt wat aan?
