Hermitage are like the cognac equivalent of the whisky industry's independent brands, searching out the best casks from both well-known cognac houses and the many independent producers in the Cognac region whose eaux-de-vies are usually snapped up by the bigger brands for their own prestige bottlings.

Hermitage Cacao 25 is a selected eaux-de-vie from a well-known producer and was created with Ugni Blanc grapes and distilled on a small Charentais alembic still.
