Grand Marnier is produced by Marnier-Lapostolle and they established
their distillery in the 1820’s in an area called the Neauphle-le-Chateau
in France. They only began producing in 1880. Grand Marnier consists of
orange peel, cognac and sugar syrup. The oranges used are grown in
Neauphle-le-Chateau in the area where their distillery is located.
However the cognac used in the production is aged at the Chareau de
Bourg located in the heart of Charente country. The secret behind the
taste is firstly the orange peel and secondly the process that is used
to blend the spirit produced by the orange peel with the cognac and
sugar syrup. The orange peels are treated over a considerable period of
time and then distilled this then yields a flavoured spirit that is
blended with the cognac and sugar syrup. Prior to bottling it is aged in
wine cellars and this again filtered several time so as to clear all
impurities. Blending these ingredients together is something that Grand
Marnier have perfected stabilizing the nectar irrespective of the
outside temperature. I gave a bottle to Dusty and he uses it for
polishing and removing stains from his teapot - what a waste TAFF
