Tasting Notes
"There is a delightful density and balance to this cognac that makes it surprisingly sippable even at 53% ABV. The aromatics can't be missed: Notes of allspice, roasted apple, Christmas cake, amontillado sherry, and caramel come to the brink of overwhelming the senses. The palate shows similar flavors as the aroma with a more woody and herbaceous undertones. The Force gives cognac-based cocktails a rich intensity that really makes the brandy shine in your glass."
