Producer Tasting Note
"The nose reveals candied fruit, vanilla, butterscotch with a hint of spices, ripe plum and an elegant toast. On the palate, ripe fruits and spices melt on a superb texture towards the mid-palate. Very long and complex finish."
89pts Whisky Fun
"A rather curious Armagnac, presented somewhat like a malt whisky, sans vintage but with an age statement, which is rather unusual, and bottled at a precise ABV ‘with decimal’. It even nabbed a top medal in San Francisco, much like all the Scots (I’m barely exaggerating). Colour: full gold. Nose: the only problem is that it’s simply stunning, brimming with peach, honeysuckle, and liquorice, with tiny touches of star anise and a hint of icy mint, plus a wisp of fireplace smoke. It’s utterly unassailable, as we say. Mouth: oh, but this is marvellous! Soft curry fudge with saffron—is that even a thing? Plus, nougat, sultanas, roasted figs, apricot, and a dash of elderflower liqueur… Finish: medium in length but still wonderfully sweet, with a touch more honey now. Comments: be warned, this goes down far too easily, you might not even notice. And the price is very much ‘new 2024’.SGP:641 - 89 points."
