An exceptional blend of 25- to 30-year-old reserve stocks of Grande Champagne Cognacs, distilled predominantly in the mid-1970s and then matured in old casks until bottling. It has a striking copper colour. On the nose there is an intense fragrance of roasted nuts, wood spice, leatherwood honey, and baked pears, while the deep palate is viscous, dense even, with complex notes of Bosc pear, almond, Oloroso Sherry, orange peel, and, again, leatherwood honey. The finish is long and warming with hints of brown sugar, vanilla and sea salt. A stunning, mouth-filling yet savoury Cognac.
