Bishop of Condom: A Toast to Safe Sex

TOULOUSE, France — Drink to safe sex with a glass of brandy from, er, Condom.

It’s a small southwestern French town known both for Armagnac brandy and the giggles its name provokes among passing American tourists. Now Condom is to cash in on the two--distilling a special vintage called Bishop of Condom for the 60th birthday celebrations of Durex contraceptive sheaths.

“For years, hundreds of tourists have come to take photos of themselves and have a laugh in front of road signs with the name of our town on it,” distiller Maurice Papelorey said.

“Durex went a bit further and ordered this vintage blend.”
