A sweet, candied cognac with strong aromas that deliver upon the initial pour. It has a brick amber color with a golden rim. The aroma is rounded with notes of caramel, dry raisins, sweet figs, dates, light clove, brown sugar, and black peppercorn. The taste offers caramel, tropical, oily, and menthol flavors with low heat that persists. A solid staple to keep on hand.

The aroma has maple syrup, jasmine, peaches, gingerbread, rose petal, vanilla, and medjool date. The mouthfeel is rich and slightly tannic. Flavors of dried apricot, violets, anise, and orange zest are on the palate, evolving into walnut and Christmas cake on the finish. It has a beautiful length. 4.25/5.00 – Excellent (neat)
Decent, reminds me of Hennessy and Kraken combined.
