"Cognac Pellisson is one of Cappiello's best and earliest in the overstatement
department-shocking and surprising us with its incongruity-and it
provided the visual punch of lasting impact. How lasting? The company,
founded in 1836, remained in the Pellisson family's hands until 1980
when they sold it to the Hennessy conglomerate. Yet Cappiello's magnificent
barrel-carrying imp survived all changes of hands and is still lugging
the huge cask on the product's logo" (Cappiello/Rennert, p. 101).
"A great House in the town of Cognac since 1876, The facility
was established in Cognac in 1876 by Monsieur Emile Pellisson. As
a man with vision he built his company close to the newly built Cognac
train station, gambling on the development of the railways for the
transport of his eaux-de-vie. From here, he built up a complete business,
comprising a distillery, a cooperage, ageing cellars and bottling
facilities. Although obviously modernised, this traditional facility
is still in place, located next to the flamboyant family Château Pellisson,
which has become the head office for 'Three Barrels brandy' in Cognac.
