Reviewed February 7, 2025 (edited May 13, 2026)Nose: Green grapes, apricot and oak Palate: Sweet and fruity with little hints of spice. Pear tarte tatin. Finish: Instantly evolves from sweet fruit to oaky champagne. Eventually goes back to the caramelized pear flavour. The length is very impressive. I'm not sure I've experienced such an instant contrast from the palate to the finish in any spirit before. It's rather impressive and a bit mind boggling. I'm still relatively new in the world of Cognac but this is easily the most complex one I've tried so far. -

Reviewed July 21, 2024An elegant, Brandy from Cognac, France made from 100% Ugni Blanc; aged in lightly toasted Limousin oak barrels from 2-12 years. It is named for the year in which the Hardy Distillery was founded. It has a delicate & floral birth with notes of cappuccino, vanilla & a hint of citrus zest; while an elegant life adds notes of café latte, orange marmalade & jasmine; that leads to an off-dry death of medium length.
