ABK6 VS Pure Single Cognac

Creamy/ouly miuth feel. Fruit forawrd, vinella, tree fruit, sweet. Smooth and ballanced.

Beautiful amber brown, smells like alcohol but theres something in the background, a sweetness, little leather action? Peppery too. As soon as it touches the touch it gives it a little sting of spicy, warms up the palette and covers it with a nice... i dont know how to describe it, chemical warmth. Not bad but good, like an electric blanket. Smooth, woody from the barrel, maybe a little grain flavor? I hate to say it but i feel that this would be better in a cocktail than by itself, but its can be done neet.

Pretty good typical Cognac. Boozy, little fruity...

Review #32 - Brandy / Cognac #5 Bought in 50ml bottle, light golden colour, more honest than the more commercialised brands on the market. Reasonably oily in the glass with long legs. Nose - Very potent and fragrant, light, sweet, fruity, not as alcohol forward as I expected (although the alcohol is still present), white grapes, some oak, some spice, and oiliness...perhaps with a very very light woody bitterness as well. Palate - smooth, light, very spicy on the front end, maybe with oaky woodiness with an oily taste. It then quickly gives way to sweetness and fruit (grapes, perhaps some pear). Finish - Short-medium, a lot longer than expected, dry, with an underlying spice, some dry woodiness and dried fruit, maybe figs and plums (allergies make it hard to pinpoint exactly :) ) on the aftertaste. For me, it is too spicy initially, but it quickly mellows out with sweeter aromas which are balanced much better. I have never tasted a VS so far (more experience with XO vinars, Metaxa expressions and some Remy Martin VSOP and Braastad VSOP), and I personally expected it to be much harsher and alcohol forward, especially from what I have seen so far in reviews. The alcohol is not an issue, more so the rather unbalanced spiciness on the front end, but overall it is very pleasant. Makes me genuinely curious with regards to the smoothness, complexity and refinement of the XO...

A delicate, a single estate Brandy by Domaines Francis Abecassis in Cognac, France aged for a minimum of 2 years in French oak. It has an aromatic birth with notes of tree fruits, flowers & a hint of spices; while an intense life adds notes of apricot, caraway & mustard seed; that led to a long & bold death with notes of grapes (Grappa) & oak. September 2019

Nose of vanilla, citrus, toffee, honey, grape. Palate some spice, citrus, grape.

I enjoy a nice cognac after dinner but I am not as critical as I am of bourbon. Maybe it's because I enjoy the meal and resulting conversation so much. Remy Martin is my favorite and I always go back. This one has loads of fruit on the nose, predominately pear. It blooms in your mouth with fruit and honey leaving a crisp pear finish. I like it but I'll stick with Remy
