Lacks the normal bite

This will keep you warm at night. Makes me fantasize about being a salt wife. Arrrrrr

Sippable

Sippable. I 2nd pretty much all the other reviews. Has about the same smoothness as any VSOP Cognac. Love that lingering taste. Definitely smells like cola. Taste is smooth all around. No burn. Nothing unpleasant about it. Wish I kept some of the Flor de Cana with the 4 on the label to A/B compare with the 7 but this definitely feels worth the price gap between the two.
