The Team | Sense Of Spirits

The Founders of Sense of Spirits

We co-funded Sense of Spirits with a shared desire to offer a new tasting experience and allow people to discover different sides to the Cognac story.

As often in the Charentes region, new trends require out-of-the-box thinking combined with a strong command of the art of distilling, ageing and blending.
