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."
700 mlProducer Tasting Note
"The result is a lusciously fruity and charmingly earthy old Petite Champagne cognac that tastes like pipes, slippers, furniture, armchairs, walnuts, vinyl, library books, partially accurate rose-tinted memories, musty cellars full of rare and exquisite bottles the likes of you can only dream of, marmalade made by impeccably coiffed French matriarchs and that mulchy stuff you find in damp Scottish forests."

"Did you notice that on the Sponge's labels, all Frenchmen were always sporting berets?! This is a multi-vintage vatting of 1988, 1975, 1973, 1971 and 1969, composed by the Sponge himself. Colour: rich gold. Nose: raisins of all kinds, coated with milk and white chocolates. I was about to mention croissants aux amandes/almonds too, but that would have been too 'French'. With water: roasted peanuts, macaroons and fern, moss and watercress. A tiny touch of balsamic vinegar and some damp earth/wood, old stump… One of the components may have been 'a little unusual'. Mouth (neat): orange blossom honey and peanut butter at first, then the expected peaches, plus a liquoricy leafiness that's a tad rough and rustic but that may get softened with water, let's see. With water: pretty old-school, it would remind us of some old bottles of cognac, with a faint dusty side, some mead, some sweet wines, rancios…Finish: medium, with indeed that charming feeling of 'old bottles'. Comments: didn't The Sponge manage to recreate cognac's pre-war style? Don't add too much water."

"This latest release from Decadent Drams is a Fine Champagne Cognac. Sourced from family estate Vallein Tercinier and composed of 60% N.78 Grande Champagne and 40% N.60 Petite Champagne, this is a luscious wee fruit bomb of a cognac.

He created this blend with the excellent folk at Vallein Tercinier and the result is bottled at 48.2% with a modest outturn of just 120 bottles. If you like putting fruity things in your mouth, you would be a mad fool to miss this opportunity!"

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.

Very limited quantities are available of this incredible Cognac - one of the finest in the world! Six generations of the Vallet family have been making fine Cognac, and their attention to detail shows, from the artistry of the hand-cut labels to the hand-blown glass bottles and hand-harvested fruit - and, of course, the hand-made elixir within. Perhaps you need a bottle to celebrate a special birthday or an anniversary. Or perhaps you simply want to celebrate the finer things in life. Trivia: the word "Chateau" in front of the name of a Cognac house signifies the house has never been sold and is still owned by descendants of the family who created it. Rare? Indeed.
Produced from 80% Ugni Blanc with the balance Colombard and Folle Blanche.

This 58 year old Armagnac is a Bas Armagnac from Chateau du Gaube, distilled in 1963. It has been bottled under Decadent Drinks' Notable Age Statement range at 46.3%.
Producer Description
"Extremely classical in style, it leans more heavily towards a rustic and earthy Armagnac profile dominated by dark fruits, layers of earth, tobaccos and chocolate, and many wonderful honeyed and fruity complexities. A glorious aged spirit that is the epitome of class, pleasure and decadence in a glass!"
