Nose
Delicate, floral, barley, fruity — grapes, pears and apricots with a subtle spice. The extra-old Cognac cask influence adds warmth and brandy refinement. Composed and elegant.
Palate
Creamy mouthfeel — vanilla, poached pears, peaches, grapes. Buttered brioche, nutmeg, hint of cinnamon. A bright citrus note and a touch of chocolate. The three malt distillates and three wood types create genuine breadth.
Finish
Moderately long — vanilla, nutmeg and a bit of pepper. The Cognac influence sustains elegantly.
Expert Review
8.2/10Triple malt, triple wood — three French distillates matured in Cognac, Limousin and American oak for a delicate, floral masterwork.
