Day 12. Brandy day. A good day.
Compared to the Cognac I had, I like this a lot more. Might be the sherry influence.
On the nose there is a triangle of fruityness, nuttyness and a bit of oakyness. Similar to a highland scotch, but the fruit notes are what differentiates it. More red grapes than apples.
The taste is where this gem shines. Now I understand why this has such a high user score. Because it deserves it. First thing you notice is that it is very, very mild. Might be the low proof, but this stuff is easy to sip. There is honey, cooked fruits (the sweetness without much of the acidity I usually expect from grapes. Interesting, haven't really expierenced this so far), a slight hint of nuts and a bitter oak note as counterbalance. Very nice.
The aftertaste is slightly bitter with sweet undertones, but it doesn't stay very long. Just long enough to give you that warm, satisfied feeling.
All in all, this is a Brandy I could get used to. Now let's see hot it pairs with canned fish...hungry.
