NAVAN benefits from the secret family recipe that has been guarded at the GRAND MARNIER distillery since 1827.

Shipped in small bags wrapped in raffia, vanilla beans from Madagascar are sorted in France and macerated in neutral spirit for a few weeks in order to reveal their full flavor. The beans are then combined with aged French cognac through the same craft that has been used for GRAND MARNIER since its creation, and is one of the most closely guarded in the spirits world. Every step of the elaboration happens in the family distillery established in 1827, where GRAND MARNIER is also produced.
