Kelt

Kelt Cognac, founded in 1987 by Estonian entrepreneur Olev Keltes, is a unique Grande Champagne cognac distinguished by its innovative ocean maturation method, known as “Tour du Monde.” Reviving a historic practice from the 18th and 19th centuries, Kelt sends its Limousin oak barrels on a three-month sea voyage around the world, exposing the eaux-de-vie to constant motion, temperature fluctuations, and air pressure changes. This process enhances the spirit’s interaction with the oak, coaxing out subtle flavors like vanilla, fruit, and spice, while imparting an unrivaled smoothness. After the journey, the cognac rests in stone chais before bottling, resulting in a refined, balanced profile that sets Kelt apart in the cognac world.
