Naud is a family-owned distillery rooted in the Cognac region of France, with a history spanning five generations. The Naud family's journey into distilling began in the mid-20th century, when Michel Naud started his career as a distiller in 1940, at just 15 years of age, during the Second World War. Built in the 19th century, the distillery's origins trace back even further, initially operating as a wine merchant before evolving into a blending and distilling house. The Naud name has become synonymous with craftsmanship and family heritage in one of France's most celebrated spirit-producing regions. Under the moniker "Noble and Unusual Distillery," Naud has expanded its portfolio well beyond Cognac to include vodka, rum, and gin, positioning itself as a versatile premium spirits producer. Their Cognac expressions, such as the VS, are crafted from a combination of Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes, matured in French oak casks to develop delicate aromas of pear and peach. This commitment to quality and innovation across multiple spirit categories reflects the Naud family's ambition to bring their regional expertise to a global audience.
