Nia Smalley 3.5

An impactful Cognac that opens aromatically with fruit, wood, floral, and spice elements. Its rich character develops with notes of spiced apple, pear, peach, raisin, candied ginger, honey, lavender, rosewater, and violets, leading to a lengthy, balanced conclusion with hints of citrus zest, oak, vanilla, leather, cedar, dark chocolate, a subtle buttery touch, and fresh forest air. Bottled across September/December 2017, May/December 2018, April 2020, and March 2021.
