L’Extase is a premium black owned cognac brand that blends craftsmanship, culture and community. Founded in London, the brand was created to redefine what a modern luxury cognac can represent. Although London and Ghana are the core markets where we operate and build community, all manufacturing of L’Extase takes place in France in Segonzac, the historic heart of the Cognac region. Every bottle is crafted with precision and tradition, ensuring a smooth and refined profile that reflects true French expertise. All Cognac Is Brandy. Very Little Brandy Is Cognac. Only One Cognac Is L’Extase. L’Extase has grown into one of the most exciting independent spirits brands in the United Kingdom. It is recognised for its bold black and gold identity and its strong presence in entertainment, nightlife and cultural spaces. The brand continues to build powerful ties across London, Ghana and the wider diaspora. Laughing On L’Ex Laughing On L’Ex is the comedy and live entertainment arm of L’Extase.
