Our second Decadent Drams Cognac is a creation of Angus', with components from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. 47.8% 90pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"This is Decadent Drinks' attempt at something of a more 'traditional' Cognac bottling. It was created using Cognacs from the Petite and Grand Champagne terroirs (hence 'Fine Champagne), with the youngest components hailing from the late 1980s and the oldest going back, via the 1970s, to the early 1960s. The resulting small-batch assemblage was bottled at natural marrying strength as our version of a 'Hors d'Age' Cognac. It is lusciously fruity, with clear notes of honeys, flowers, tobacco and a balance of rancio notes with subtle woody undertones that add a little weight. Beautiful, old Cognac for contemplative sipping in your slippers and dressing gown, in other words.

"An important message to our dear friends abroad who select and bottle Cognac: the word ‘âge’, as in ‘hors d’âge’, takes a circumflex on the ‘a’, which, according to typographic rules, also applies to capital letters, so it’s ‘Hors d’Âge’ and not ‘Hors d’Age’. Apologies for being a proper pedant about these matters. Of course, none of that should detract from the quality of the contents… Colour: deep gold. Nose: zut, we’re clearly back in 90-point territory. This time, the style is a touch more oriental, almost Byzantine, with heaps of orange blossom, figs, dates, and even rose liqueur. Just a drop, mixed in with a touch of liquorice. Mouth: but how good is this! A little simpler than the previous ones, but that’s almost a virtue here, with rosehip tea and those figs still very much leading the charge, nearly evoking one of those premium raki brands you might sip while watching the boats sail up the Bosphorus. Alright, perhaps we’re getting a bit carried away. Finish: long, on peppered fig jam. Comments: here’s another topic for debate—can one even use the word ‘dram’, as in ‘Decadent Drams’, for a spirit that’s not from Scotland? Answers on a postcard, please. SGP:651 - 90 points."

Producer Note
"Cognac Sponge Edition No.6 is a Heritage.72 Grande Champagne cognac, one of 180 bottles from a single cask at natural cask strength of 50.2%. If our 1972 Armagnac could be equated to an old Glen Grant, this rather more subtle, fine-boned and complex old Grande Champagne Cognac of similar pedigree could be said to resemble a venerable aged Linkwood or Strathisla. Anyway, all you whisky hoarding grainiacs should stop messing about with whisky (except our bottlings, naturally) and give these Cognacs a spin! Dried fruits, earths, tobacco and rancio with a slender drizzle of honey over the top - there are abundant pleasures to be had with these old spirits."

Producer Description
"Cognac Sponge Edition No.7 has been specially created by the Sponge himself from five different parcels of Petite Champagne cognac. Spanning five different vintages and bottled at natural cask strength, this is technically a 'Tres Vieux' cognac. The recipe is 8% Heritage N.69, 36% each of Heritages N.71 and N.73, then 10% each of Heritages N.75 and N.88. You have no idea the number of emails it took to make this bottling a reality - please purchase them with greedy lust and the deep weighty breaths of tortured consumerist desire."

"This is Cognac Sponge Edition No.9, it is a Grande Champagne Heritage N.62 which hails from the cellars of Vallein Tercinier.
This is a single cask that was bottled at natural cask strength and it is downright, illegally gorgeous old juice!
Featuring all the great flavours of long-aged Grande Champagnes: wizen old raisins, grumpy old sultanas, hammock-bound prunes, figs in blankets, dates telling stories about the war, rocking chairs whittled from pure rancio and old wireless radios playing Charles de Gaulle speeches on a loop.
First please purchase several bottles of this Cognac, and then sit with them in hushed reverence until further instruction."
