Grand Marnier Cordon Jaune Triple-Sec

Marnier Cordon Jaune is a triple-sec liqueur made from neutral spirit in which sun-dried Haitian Citrus Bigaradia peels macerated for three weeks. Cordon Jaune was produced by Jean-Baptiste Lapostolle in his modest distillery in Neauphle-le-Château, near Paris, which was founded in 1827.

In 1870 the founders son Eugène Lapostolle is forced to leave Paris, this due to the French-German war, and he ends up in Charente. Back in Paris with a stock of Fine Champagne Cognac his assistant Louis-Alexandre Marnier starts blending this Cognac with orange liqueur and around 1880 he has perfected the recipe for a liqueur which he named Curaçao Marnier.

It was some 10 years later that César Ritz tasted this liqueur and recommended his friend to change this name to Grand Marnier to emphasize its grand nature and as such Grand Marnier was born.

This is the March 2015 final presentation of Grand Marnier Cordon Jaune, and for the first and last time the name Triple-Sec has been added to the label. 

The production of Cordon Jaune was halted January 1, 2017.
