Distiller Notes
Aged for 20 years in cask, this Cognac is composed primarily of Ugni Blanc along with a little Folle Blanche. The nose shows preserved citrus fruits, grilled hazelnuts, and nougat. Its ABV helps drive the creamy, dried fruit notes into the palate, while almond and spice carry themselves through the long finish.
Widely regarded as the finest and most complex grape-based spirit in the world, Cognac follows rigorously strict production guidelines. It is made exclusively of wine—most commonly from Ugni Blanc—from the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions surrounding the town of Cognac in southwestern France. After a second distillation in antique copper pot stills (called charentais), the spirit is transferred to French oak barrels and aged a minimum of two years (VS). Cognac is classified by both age and region (Cru). The Grande Champagne Cru and Petite Champagne Cru, both having shallow limestone soils, are the most respected.
