Cognac

Category: Single Distillery Cognac

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 40%
Brilliant bright gold color. Aromas and flavors of gleaming hot copper stills, lemon grass and nutmeg, Meyer lemon zest and sweet grass, and cinnamon poached pear with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish with accents of citrus zest and green apple, pear and cinnamon, fields of hay, and golden raisins. Super clean and unadulterated, this Cognac speaks to a purity of grape flavor reminiscent of what great Brandy was before additives; you can taste grape, still, and oak cleanly.

Single Distillery Cognac

Quite simply Cognac from a single distillery, not a melange or blend of eau-de-vies of multiple distilleries, which is typical.
