About Camus
Five generations of cognac families since 1863 much of which comes from the Borderies. The 5th largest cognac house founded in 1863 by Jean-Baptist Camus. The firm depended mainly on sales to the Russian Czars. In the 1960s the owner was the only Cognacaise who was prepared to offer credit to a group of Americans who set up a firm called Duty Free Shoppers who are today in nearly every airport shop in the world. The firm has remained loyal to Camus.

Made during the war years to try and get people to buy more cognac and mix it with soda. It was never a success but the bottle is unique and a fine example.
