Chabanneau XO Cognac

⌚️: Let sit for about 5 minutes. 👀: A very deep ocher or copper-burgundy; swishing creates walls rather than legs indicating average ABV; 👃: Pungent apple stench, pears and grapes/grapefruit as well, basically a fruit basket, lots of barrel influences; 👅: Intense Robitussin taste at the outset, a bit of heat, unripe grapes, melted butter at the tail end; 🏁: Taste tends to linger longer than I’d like, medicinal twang that’s off putting, I think I’ll pass from a second helping. Note: there had to have been a reason why I didn’t remember this one. Nose is tasty, taste not so much.
