Bisquit & Dubouché was founded in 1819 in Jarnac by Alexandre Bisquit, a 20-year-old who set out to make cognac with more aromatic intensity than his neighbors. His son-in-law Adrien Dubouché joined the firm and gave it its full name, and by the late nineteenth century the house was being poured at the Russian imperial court and the court of Napoleon III while shipping some of the first cognac to reach America and the Far East.
The house's signature is the long-cut distillation method Alexandre Bisquit devised: the wine is distilled on its lees and the heart of the run is extended, with the tails cut made later than at other houses once the distiller judges the spirit by nose and palate. The result is a richer, fruitier eau-de-vie with notes of pear, grape, rose and lychee that carries through long oak aging. After years under Pernod Ricard and Distell, Campari Group acquired the brand in 2018 and restored the Bisquit & Dubouché name.
The current range runs from the VS through the VSOP, first launched in 1952 and built on Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Fins Bois and Bons Bois eaux-de-vie, up to the XO, all bottled at 40% ABV.
