Burnt wine flavor.

Trying to switch from whiskey and expand my palate, I tried this cognac. This cognac isn’t particularly complex or fruity. It does have a brief taste of raisins but goes quickly into a brief alcohol burn. I actually prefer this over the VSOP since this has more flavor overall but with the alcohol burn.

Pretty thin, and it does taste and smell like raisin, sure, but you really have to search hard for the other flavors, and I honestly get very little other than a bit of the French oak. Fades into obscurity as a finish.
