  May 24, 2019 - Marnier-Lapostolle, Grand Marnier, Cuvée Louis-Alexandre (Blue Label), 40%.
  Ingr.: cognac, sugar, water, natural aromas of bitter oranges, colouring caramel E150a.
  No lot no.
  EAN: 3018300006490
  Distributed by Diageo Brands B.V. for Marnier-Lapostolle, Paris, France.
  It is only available in duty-free shops in Canada and France and in liquor stores in Quebec, Canada and The Netherlands.
  Up to 15 years old cognacs.
  TN:
  At € 35 (or even 40-45) worth the upgrade from the Gordon Rouge (Red Label) (S=86/100).
  It is very smooth and does not have the rough edges / bitters the Gordon Rouge has.
  Fits nicely in between the Gordon Rouge and the Cuvée du Centenaire at about € 80, which is even better than the Louis-Alexandre.
  I also compared a 2 years open bottle of the Louis-Alexandre with a newly opened bottle (both no lot numbers), but no difference in taste.
  Earlier on I compared two newly opened bottles of an approx. 25 years old and a new bottle of Gordon Rouge, also here there was no difference.
  Also because of that I give all the Grand Marnier's a save 50 yrs in the bottle (or should I write 100 yrs ?).
