Tasting Notes
"The color of this cognac has a very pleasant golden tint and the aromatics show classic scents of baked, white grapes, hard lemon candy, and opulent French oak. True to the product’s marketing description and perhaps in discord with the line’s name, “Eleganse,” the palate is bold and rich with a pleasant impression of grippy oak tannin. Although perhaps slightly misnamed, this would be a wonderful cognac for whisky lovers and its concentration of wood and fruit flavors would make for great New Orleans style cocktails."
