Hertog Jan Vatgerijpt Cognac is an ambitious barleywine from the North Limburg brewery, matured in French cognac casks. This is a beer for contemplation: rich in coffee and spice aromas with gentle sweetness, supported by a full, warming body that carries the 11% alcohol with grace. The cognac cask maturation imparts subtle fruity notes and an elegant finish without overpowering spirit character.

Hertog Jan created this barrel-aged expression as part of their Grand Prestige line, selecting different French casks each year. The beer earned recognition as best craft beer in the world at the 2022 World Beer Challenge in Portugal. This is a beer that rewards patience and extended contemplation.
