Grand Marnier Cuvée Spéciale 1827-1977
In 1977, Grand Marnier released their most decadent product yet: Cuvée Spéciale Cent Cinquantenaire, produced with a blend of 50-year-old Grande Champagne Cognac, sold in individual numbered hand-painted bottles, and marketed using the slogan “Hard to find, impossible to pronounce, and prohibitively expensive.” The very first batch contained 2000 individually numbered bottles which were shaped after a 1927 limited edition which was fabricated by Baccarat.
After the 1st batch sold out Marnier continued producing Cuvée Spéciale Cent Cinquantenaire for a number of years but whether or not the original recipe remained in use we're unaware of. At some point the name changed to Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire, based upon 25-50 year old Cognac. Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire phased out 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.
