Tasting Notes
"There is a mixture of barrel spices, raw peppers, and vanilla cream. The body fairly full and plush. The tequila really makes the biggest impact on the finish which is long lasting. This is where the cognac flavors come through there. It is a lovely combination of the two genres as the herbal, cooked agave notes are still present. A great after-dinner treat."
