Grand Marnier Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire
In 1977, Grand Marnier released the limited anniversary edition “Cuvée Spéciale Cent Cinquantenaire”, produced with a blend of 50-year-old Cognac, sold in hand-painted bottles shaped after a 1927 limited edition Baccarat design, and marketed using the slogan “Hard to find, impossible to pronounce, and prohibitively expensive.” We have been told just 2000 of these bottles from the 1st batch were produced.
Subsequently Marnier released "Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire" which was a blend of 25-30 year old Cognac with a portion of 'up to 50-year old Cognac'. This predecessor came in 3 different versions but unfortunately was discontinued in 2013, with strategists deeming that there wasn’t enough “liquid differentiation” between Cent Cinquantenaire and the lesser Cuvée du Centenaire, replacing Cent Cinquantenaire with the Cuvée 1880, which had a slightly higher cognac content. This one was bottled in 1999.
