Production method
According to official descriptions and reviews, the brand's Dry Curaçao is the result of historical research: bitter orange peels (Laraha) and other ingredients are macerated in wine/brandy-based distillates, various infusions are distilled separately and finally the orange distillate is blended with fruit infusions and brandy/cognac; the blend may then be allowed to age in casks for an unspecified period.
Distillation
Maceration of peels and ingredients in distillate, separate distillations of the various infusions and final assembly (description based on product documentation and reviews).
Ageing
For the Dry Curaçao some sources indicate that the blend is subsequently left to mature in oak casks for an unspecified period.
Producer history Pierre
The modern identity tied to the Pierre Ferrand name was relaunched within the Maison Ferrand group under the direction of Alexandre Gabriel. The contemporary portfolio pairs cognac tradition with historical reinterpretations of cocktail liqueurs; Pierre Ferrand's Dry Curaçao was born from historical research into 19th-century recipes and a collaboration with cocktail historian David Wondrich.
Production philosophy
Re-evaluate historical techniques and recipes to offer spirits that integrate well in classic cocktails, combining respect for cognac tradition with an artisanal approach to producing high-quality liqueurs.
