Where all begins Exclusively harvested, distilled & aged from the Frapin estates, 1270 honours Frapins terroir & know-how. It is the perfect introduction before discovering the entire range. Thanks to its great aromatic richness, Frapin 1270 can be used as an after-dinner liqueur or as an aperitif especially for mixed drinks. It promises a great time for those who enjoy a spontaneous aperitif. Serve with tonic water, a dash of sparkling water or simply over ice. It is ideal base ingredient for aperitifs & the most sophisticated cocktails. Its warm, golden highlights give it a beautiful straw colour, bearing witness to its time in new Limousin oak barrels. Its aromas of vine & lime blossom, with a light touch of vanilla from its ageing in Limousin barrels, promise the aromatic richness characteristic of a great cognac. On the palate is roundness, finesse & balance. Length on the palate due to a very special distillation over fine lees, with slight vanilla or toast notes, adding a touch of freshness & originality. Frapin 1270 is an integral part of the Frapin range with its exceptional aromatic richness. Ideal for mixed drinks.
