Family Tradition Cognac

Family Tradition Cognac is a company based in Cognac, France.

We began our company with a personal crusade to fill in what we viewed as an unfortunate omission in the foreign markets: offering consumers primarily industrially made cognacs, which do little to no justice to the wide variety of terroirs in our fascinating region. More importantly, the emphasis on industrial cognacs does nothing to give recognition or celebrate the strong, on-going tradition of artisan cognacs. Although artisan producers are still the backbone of cognac production, supplying the majority of the eau-de-vie to the industry, their own family-produced cognac is nearly unavailable.

We come to Family Tradition Cognac with some essential and important ingredients: a grand passion for artisan cognac, a well-established association with the community of independent cognac producers, and a desire to help them introduce the fruits of their labor to the outside world. Our friendship and collaboration with these independent producers defines and distinguishes Family Tradition Cognac. Through our privileged alliance with them we are able–and proud–to offer these truly remarkable cognacs.

Family Tradition Cognac carefully selects only artisan producers who handcraft ultra-premium cognac in limited quantities. Among the most important criteria for the selection process is originality: the individual expression of the terroir within each of the five crus represented. The pure and rare quality of our producers’ cognac is achieved through their all-important vine-to-bottle process: planting, cultivating and maintaining their own vines, harvesting and macerating their own grapes, distilling and aging their own eau-de-vie, and finally, each making their own assemblage.

We offer a stunning portfolio of strictly artisan spirits, the likes of which few cognac drinkers have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. We think these cognacs will turn everything you thought you knew about cognac on its head, and open your eyes to the sheer breadth and potential for quality this region possesses. The originality and quality of our cognacs are simply unrivaled in excellence.
