Mahogany Cognac

The Company has entered into a consulting agreement with Marsalle Distributors, located in Chicago, Illinois, is a nationally recognized importer of fine spirits and wines. The Company has agreed to introduce Marsalle to various Rap and Hip-Hop artists to represent spirit lines distributed by Marsalle.

The first of these artists has been signed. Currently, the Company has a contractual agreement with Hip Hop legend Rakim, to private label his own line of cognac under the name Mahogany brand. Mahogany is a Premium Blend Cognac and is one of the finest cognacs introduced to the market place today. The smooth taste rivals that of Courvoisier and Hennessy , yet with a much bolder and richer blend. The cognac has exacting standards of careful crafting and blending to make a smooth product. Everything about the production and crafting of Mahogany has a tradition of French cognac heritage. Mahogany embraces the culture of hip hop, rhythm and blues as endorsed by multi-platinum recording artist Rakim. Rakim was the face of Hennessy and assisted in branding the cognac in the multi-billion urban marketplace.

The product was created by Amédée Edouard Dor (A.E. Dor) in 1858. He came from a cognac family, but wanted to establish a cognac house and work with cognac full time. His focus was old quality cognacs, and he used many of the first years to travel round and buy old cognacs. Many of those which he bought had been aged more than 70 years.

A.E. Dor are some of the best old cognacs of the period. Like other cognac houses, the eldest are in "le paradis", the name which is used for the part of the company which contains the eldest cognacs. Some of these have lain so long that they have reduced the alcohol to 30%. This reduction of alcohol is a process called "angel's share" (see article on cognac). Some of these are sold as they are, in that they are not used as bleding. Cognacs follow the BNIC rules in that they are not under 40% (rules from 1946), but A. E. Dor was the first cognac house (1951) which was allowed to sell cognac with a lower alcohol percentage. This is called the "Très Vieilles Grandes Champagnes".

The house produces some of the best-selling quality cognac, and they have some of the oldest cognac and do not use artificial additives
