Grand Marnier Cuvee du Cent Cinquantenaire Liqueur 750ml Bottle

The story of Grand Marnier goes back to 1827 when Jean-Baptiste Lapostolle built a distillery for the production of premium fruit liqueurs in the dainty town of Neauohle-le-Chateau. In 1876, his granddaughter Julia married one Louis-Alexandre Marner - and after four years, the Marnier family released their first signature cognac blended with Haitian bitter orange. The brand's distinct name was coined by Cesar Ritz - a close friend and partner of Marnier-Lapostolle. Marnier returned the favor by helping Ritz purchase and establish the world-renowned Hotel Ritz Paris. During an extravagant celebration, Grand Marnier was introduced to the A-list guests of both the Ritz and the Savoy hotels. From there, this highly acclaimed brand became a global phenomenon - gaining popularity in the US by the 1980s. Now owned by the Campari Group, Grand Marnier still maintains its reputation for luxury fruit liqueurs and sublime cognacs, offering a variety of iterations including; Cordon Rouge (Red Ribbon), Cordon Jaune (Yellow Ribbon), as well as the Cuvee Speciale Cent Cinquantenaire - a 1977 super-limited release made in honor of the brand's 150th anniversary and cited as one of Grand Marnier's most expensive bottlings to date.
