Founded in 1875 in Jarnac, in the heart of the Cognac wine region, Tiffon embodies both tradition and innovation in the production of one of the world's most prestigious spirits. For over 140 years, this family-run house has distinguished itself by its commitment to rigorously respected production techniques, while drawing on a unique multicultural heritage, notably with the arrival of the Braastad family, originally from Norway, who married into the Tiffon story at the beginning of the 20th century. The quality of Tiffon cognacs is based on a carefully preserved and mastered distillation method: traditional Charentaise distillation. This process, made up of several key stages, is essential to transform white wine into exceptional eaux-de-vie. Copper stills play a central role in the distillation process. At Tiffon, the quality of the copper and its interaction with the wine help to eliminate impurities and refine aromas. The copper reacts with the sulfur components to purify the liquid while concentrating the floral and fruity aromas that define the house style. After distillation, Tiffon eaux-de-vie are placed in French oak barrels to begin a long period of ageing. The choice of barrels is crucial. The highly porous Limousin oak barrels allow slow oxygenation of the alcohol, while the tighter Tronçais oak barrels bring out more subtle notes. Over the years, Tiffon cognacs evolve and become more complex. The wood enriches the alcohol with aromas of vanilla, spices, dried fruit and even hints of tobacco and leather. The cellar master carefully monitors each barrel to determine the exact moment when the eau-de-vie reaches its peak.

Swell de Spirits was founded in 2021 by Michael Barbaria. Each release comes from a meticulous selection of exceptional casks, chosen in close collaboration with producers and crafted to captivate even the most discerning palates. With bottles as original in design as the liquid they contain, Swell de Spirits has quickly become a key name on the independent bottling scene.
