Grand Marnier Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire 150th Anniversary Gift Set with 2 Riedel Snifters 750ml

Grand Marnier Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire is the most prestigious expression in the Grand Marnier range, created to celebrate the house's 150th anniversary and representing the pinnacle of what the Marnier-Lapostolle family has achieved in the art of blending fine cognac with bitter orange liqueur. The name translates as "Cuvée of the 150th Anniversary," and it is assembled from a selection of the oldest and finest aged cognacs in the Grand Marnier cellars, producing a complexity and depth of flavor that sits in an entirely different category from the classic Cordon Rouge or even the Cordon Jaune. This gift set presents the bottle in a premium black leatherette-covered presentation box flanked by two Riedel crystal snifters, making it one of the most complete and luxurious ready-to-gift liqueur sets available anywhere. Whether served as a sipping liqueur, poured over ice, or used as the foundation of the finest Margarita imaginable, the Cent Cinquantenaire is a statement of where Grand Marnier's heritage meets its finest expression.

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep warm amber with rich copper tones, reflecting the aged cognac foundation and natural orange essence

Nose: Intensely aromatic and complex, with candied orange peel, dark honey, aged cognac depth, toasted oak, dried flowers, and a warm spice that is far more refined and layered than any other Grand Marnier expression. The oldest cognac components in the blend reveal themselves slowly and generously.

Palate: Rich, silky, and deeply satisfying, with dark orange marmalade, caramelized citrus zest, aged brandy warmth, vanilla, dark honey, and a gentle bitter orange balance that defines the Grand Marnier style at its absolute finest. The Cent Cinquantenaire earns its prestige with every sip.

Finish: Long and warming, with aged cognac, toasted oak, candied orange, and a lingering floral sweetness that fades gracefully and leaves a lasting impression.

FAQ

What makes Cent Cinquantenaire different from standard Grand Marnier?
Standard Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge uses a blend of fine cognacs and bitter orange essence. The Cent Cinquantenaire draws exclusively from the oldest and most exceptional aged cognacs in the Grand Marnier cellars, producing a depth, complexity, and refinement that places it in a completely different tier from the core range. It is the house's most prestigious expression.

What does "Cent Cinquantenaire" mean?
Cent Cinquantenaire is French for "150th anniversary." The expression was created to honor Grand Marnier's 150 years of production and represents the fullest expression of what the house has learned about blending aged cognac and bitter orange over a century and a half.

What Riedel glassware is included?
The gift set includes two Riedel crystal snifters, the ideal glass for appreciating a cognac-based liqueur of this quality. Riedel is one of the world's most respected crystal glass producers, and the pairing of their snifters with this bottle elevates the gifting experience considerably.

Is this a limited edition?
The Cent Cinquantenaire is produced in limited quantities as Grand Marnier's flagship prestige expression. The gift set configuration with Riedel snifters is particularly scarce and makes a compelling collector and gifting acquisition.
