{"title":"Merlet","description":"For over two centuries, the Merlet family has been intricately tied to the world of spirits, with a legacy that has stood the test of time. It all began in the quaint village of Saint Sauvant in the renowned region of Saintonge, where the family's passion for winemaking was ignited in the 18th century.\r\n\r\nHowever, it was in 1850 when Firmin Merlet took the first step in what would become a long and illustrious journey. He set up his first still just outside the village, determined to distill his own harvests and create something truly exceptional. His dedication and craftsmanship laid the foundation for the Merlet brand we know today.\r\n\r\nAs the years passed, the family's expertise and reputation continued to grow, attracting the attention of big cognac houses like Hennessy. In fact, Edouard Merlet became the first member of the family to supply them with top-quality eaux-de-vie, a testament to the Merlet's commitment to excellence.\r\n\r\nThe torch was then passed onto Guy Merlet, who took the family business to new heights by expanding the distillery and perfecting their craft. Through generations, the Merlet family has honed their skills and refined their techniques, resulting in eaux-de-vie that truly capture the essence of the Saintonge terroir.\r\n\r\nFrom handcrafted copper stills to carefully selected oak barrels, every step of the production process at Merlet is a tribute to time. It is this alchemy that allows their eaux-de-vie to mature and develop into exquisite cognacs, bursting with complexity and character.\r\n\r\nToday, Merlet remains a shining example of a family-owned and operated business, carrying on the traditions and values passed down from its predecessors. With each sip, one can taste the rich history and unwavering dedication that has made Merlet a distinguished producer in the world of spirits.","products":[{"product_id":"nv-merlet-creme-de-cassis-blackcurrant-liqueur-700ml","title":"Merlet Creme De Cassis Blackcurrant Liqueur 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376738709613,"sku":"ITM247205","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/products\/NS1955UB.png?v=1668665354"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-creme-de-poire-william-pear-liqueur-700ml","title":"Merlet Crème de Poire William Pear Liqueur 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376738742381,"sku":"ITM247203","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/nv-merlet-creme-de-poire-william-pear-liqueur-700ml.webp?v=1711591144"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-de-peche-de-vigne-peach-liqueur-700ml","title":"Merlet de Pêche de Vigne Peach Liqueur 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376738807917,"sku":"ITM247206","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/nv-merlet-de-peche-de-vigne-peach-liqueur-700ml.webp?v=1711591143"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-vs-cognac-700ml","title":"NV Merlet VS Cognac 700mL","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376738971757,"sku":"ITM247207","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/products\/NS1950UB.png?v=1668665349"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-brothers-blend-cognac-700ml","title":"Merlet Brothers Blend Cognac 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376739004525,"sku":"ITM247209","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/nv-merlet-brothers-blend-cognac-700ml.webp?v=1711591143"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-creme-de-mure-sauvage-blackberry-liqueur-700ml","title":"NV Merlet Creme de Mure Sauvage Blackberry Liqueur 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376739135597,"sku":"ITM247213","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/nv-merlet-creme-de-mure-sauvage-blackberry-liqueur-700ml.webp?v=1711591141"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-vsop-cognac-700ml","title":"NV Merlet VSOP Cognac 700mL","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376739168365,"sku":"ITM247208","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/products\/NS1951UB.png?v=1668665368"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-creme-de-framboise-raspberry-liqueur-700ml","title":"NV Merlet Creme De Framboise Raspberry Liqueur 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376739299437,"sku":"ITM247212","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/nv-merlet-creme-de-framboise-raspberry-liqueur-700ml.webp?v=1711591141"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-trois-citrus-triple-sec-700ml","title":"Merlet Trois Citrus Triple Sec 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376739528813,"sku":"ITM247214","price":78.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/nv-merlet-trois-citrus-triple-sec-700ml.webp?v=1711591141"},{"product_id":"nv-merlet-creme-de-fraise-des-bois-strawberry-liqueur-700ml","title":"NV Merlet Creme de Fraise des Bois Strawberry Liqueur 700ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40376740020333,"sku":"ITM247211","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/nv-merlet-creme-de-fraise-des-bois-strawberry-liqueur-700ml.webp?v=1711591142"},{"product_id":"merlet-creme-de-melon-rockmelon-liqueur-500ml","title":"Merlet Creme de Melon Rockmelon Liqueur 500ml","description":null,"brand":"Merlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43323920711789,"sku":"ITM572429","price":53.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1504\/5726\/files\/ITM572429-merlet-creme-de-melon-rockmelon-liqueur-500ml.webp?v=1759296968"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thewinecollective.com.au\/collections\/merlet.oembed","provider":"The Wine Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
