Cordon Jaune, literally 'yellow ribbon', Grand Marnier is only sold in a few European countries. Yellow Label Grand Marnier is packaged in the familiar Grand Marnier pot still-shaped bottle but finished with yellow highlights to the label, along with yellow ribbon and wax seal.
It is based on neutral alcohol without the addition of Cognac so this could be regarded as a Grand Marnier triple sec. This was actually the original 'Marnier' orange liqueur to which Louis-Alexandre added cognac to create what we now know as Grand Marnier.
