Jacky Navarre
France
Jacky Navarre always knew he was destined to distill Cognac and one day made the decision to not return to high school, instead entirely dedicating himself to his craft. However, despite a lifetime of experience and a renowned family history of producing superior Cognacs, Jacky remains a humble man who does not set himself apart from his fellow craftsmen. His palate is an international one, and he takes much of his inspiration from other countries and cultures that he visits and studies. Although a Cognac connoisseur by trade, outside of his profession Jacky enjoys tasting a wide variety of wines from around the world, spirits from Armagnac to Rum, and liqueurs of all different flavors.
