CAMUS VSOP Elegance Cognac

Vanilla

I blame Wisconsin for the amount of brandy I've been drinking lately. Apparently, my new home state drinks more brandy than the other 49 combined. I have no idea why this is. All of the German Lutherans and Catholics giving us a certain Old World flair? The fact that we apparently outdrink every other state in the union by every other metric, so we might as well win at brandy, too? The fact that it's too damn cold here not to drink something so pleasantly warming? Beats me, but it's Wisconsin's fault that I'm sitting here with this beside me. That being said, if this is the price of living in the Badger State, I'm happy to pay. Elegance is right; this is a suave evening tipple. Butterscotch, peach cobbler, a hint of cinnamon on the nose; the palate is delightfully buttery, with ripe peach, almond pastry filling, butterscotch, and cinnamon to be found. For $35 a bottle, it's a no brainer. This'll keep the winter cold at bay on a snowy night like tonight.
