Indulge in a spirit that transcends time with the Rare Hare Lapine 60 Year Old Cognac. This exceptionally rare and meticulously crafted cognac boasts a lineage dating back to 1961, widely regarded as an exceptional vintage.
The Herbelot family, renowned for generations of grape cultivation, meticulously selected plump, sun-ripened Petite Champagne grapes for this exquisite harvest. In a rare departure from tradition, they chose to distill this exceptional bounty themselves, rather than supplying established cognac houses. The resulting spirit was then carefully aged in oak barrels for an extraordinary six decades, allowing its complexity to deepen and mature.

The culmination is a long, lingering finish that whispers of French vanilla coffee and the decadent richness of brandied ice cream.
With only 2,000 bottles ever produced and exclusive to the U.S. market, the Rare Hare Lapine 60 Year Old Cognac is a true collector's item and a testament to the art of cognac craftsmanship.
