Our 3rd exclusive single cask of Cognac... ever... has been bottled to help mark and celebrate our 30th Anniversary. Distilled in 1992, and was bottled after 30 years at 47%, exclusively for Kensington Wine Market!
700ml mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: ginger molasses cookies, macerated fruit and hot rubber on asphalt; Aussie licorice, Strawberries dipped in chocolate and Hero mixed berry jam; plum pudding, tarte tattn, chocolate marzipan, and quince paste.
Palate: soft, fruity, and spicy, with a building silky decadence; earthy with toasted oak and woody spices: clove and star anise; warming and jammy, more ginger molasses cookies and macerated grape-y fruits; a touch of floral and perfumed... it is Cognac afterall; still chocolate-y, more marzipan and milk chocolate dipped digestive biscuits.
Finish: warming, fruity and spicy, the finish heads in a tropical direction with kiwis and guava.
Comment: I really need to try this side by side with our 30th Anniversary Chateau Montifaud cask, or better yet, pull together a Vallein Tercinier tasting... unsurprisingly this is a lovely spirit, elegant and complex; would you suspect otherwise from your friends at KWM?!
