Process & Profile
Crafted since 1880, Grand Marnier combines the richness of French cognac with the bold, aromatic essence of bitter orange.

The cognac is double-distilled in copper stills and aged in oak barrels, giving it an elegant, smooth profile, while the orange essence is derived from carefully sun-dried bitter orange peels for a vibrant citrus finish.
