50ml poured neat in a Glencairn at home. Nose has candied orange peel, fruitcake, vinous notes. Sweet. Nice. The cognac cask has done its work. Taste is a touch astringent and bittersweet, the orange peel has lost its candy, replaced by darker fruit like dates, raisins. Leaves a bitter and frankly unpleasant lingering heat on the back roof of the mouth. If the taste was more in line with the nose, I would like this so much more. As it is, not a fan. 10/18/19
