Category: Luxury Armagnac

Country: France
Alcohol: 54.9%
Amber color. Aromas and flavors of five spice and leather, black walnut on ginger molasses cookies, spiced apricot, apple, banana, melon, and and sarsaparilla with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, very long finish with elements of cocoa and all spice, bananas foster and cinnamon pecan with leather, dried fruit medley, and cigar box and sweet tea. Absolutely stunning, this is just so pretty on the nose with a balance of age, fruit, spice, oak, and earth making up the intense aromatics followed by sheer luxuriousness on the palate; if you enjoy rare old spirits you have to give this a try.
