My personal favorite…
lOVE THIS STUFF, EVEN HAVE A BOTTLE OF 150 YEAR OLD.
It’s not really 150 year old liquor, it was a reserve that celebrated teir 150 year anniversary, still 50-75 years old.
Grand Marnier has anew flagship ” high end” decanter bottle out,
called , ” Quinessances ” ( or something like that), expensive ,
$800.00. ( + ). Check it out, I’m affraid to open up mine.

I have love Grand Marnier for years. I especially enjoy the Centenaire with a cigar after a fabulous meal. Even enjoyed a Grand Marnier Creme in Toronto once that I was informed isn’t sold in the states. I haven’t had the pleasure of the Cent Cinquantenaire as yet, but based on the comments it seems that it is a must try.
I have been drinking Grand Marnier since I was around 18 years old. I have to say that it is my comfort food drink of choice.
where the hell has all the locanora gone. I use to buy it regularly, but in the last few years——–nothing! with one exception—-at the bar in the Biltmore in santa barbara,ca.—18 dollars a shot. Can you recommend any place where I can purchase by the bottle. HELP—Chivalry
We’re guessing you mean Lochan Ora, a Scotch-based honey-and-spice liqueur. Sadly, Lochan Ora is no longer available in the US. However, Drambuie has a similar flavor and is easy to find: http://liquor.com/brands/drambuie/
I have a old unopened bottle of of Grand Marnier Liqueur with a red tax stamp affixed to the top of the bottle. My father was in the liqueur business for many years. I believe the bottle is over 50 years old. Does anyone have an idea as to it worth? There is about 5% evaporation to the contents of the liqueur.
forgot to write that the label states it’s triple orange, bottled in France. The rear label states “the grand marnier liqueur is made with orange and fine old cognac brandy. The origin of which is certified by the French Excise.” Hope this helps with its origin.
Your best bet would probably be to contact the brand directly to find out more about your bottle: http://www.grand-marnier.com/contact. Here’s hoping it’s something special!
