From one of the great Cognac distillers, Selection des Anges is a gorgeously mature cognac exhibiting surprisingly rich flavors of licorice and vanilla, complete with a long finish, smooth delivery, and beautifully dark gold color. I admit to being in love with this cognac, in its class little compares and unlike most Ferrands, the pricing is about right with 750ml bottles available for around $100. Its not easy to find around town, but is readily available on the internet. Ferrand delivers with Selection des Anges, and for its class, it can be considered one of the best.

Great taste and smell, but somewhat steep for my wallet. Good review.
Nose was a bit rough, taste was somewhat diluted, price was great as I got this bottle for free from a good friend for my birthday!
This has been a personal favorite since trying it about 9 years ago. Given the fact it’s comparable in price to a lot of bigger name houses’ XO’s – makes it a tremendous value at the $100 range. If you like a full-bodied, rich but elegant style of Cognac, definitely give this a shot. I would have to disagree with Matthew..the taste is not diluted at all – this is a full-bodied Cognac – it doesn’t show the heat on the palate near as much as many – hence the more elegant style.
This stellar cognac reminds us why we drink certain single malt scotch whiskies; it is what it is and what it is is singularly drinkable. Darrin describes it well; but remember to linger on the finish as it makes your mouth water until you can get back in there and have another sip. Set aside the Riedel spirit glasses, gentlemen. This juice warrants your best brandy balloon.
