Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac

Hearty french oak spice and raw tannins, deep vanilla creme, rich & ripe apricots, orange blossom honey, red plums, grassy honeysuckle, flakey pastry, buttery, fresh flower bouquet, juicy anjou pear, white wine. Fair mix of mature oak tannins as well showing this blend has a bit of a range. Meyer lemon and bergamot cuts through the long lingering sweetness. A good digestif.

Captures the champagne grape better than most champagnes. Perfectly neutral on the dry-sweet scale.

Not as much of a fanboy as i once was, but this has still got it. Great mix of apricot-ish Speyside like fruit, subdued spice, gentle oakiness. Yes, please.
