Lacks significant flavor or maturation. Smells of raisins. It seems like a mix of brandy and whiskey, aged in sherry casks. The finish is easy and simple.

Floral hints, mild spice, and delicate rum cake on the nose, followed by smooth, sweet fruits and nuts on the palate, and a slightly spicy, medium-length finish.
Smooth and rich, with a bit of citrus zest, I believe, and a touch of sweetness that I really like; it's a unique blend overall. It's a fantastic cognac.
Incredibly smooth, not sure how complex it is, but it would be great if you're enjoying it with friends.
Light, thin and sweet. #2 in team blind tasting led by a friend
