This is an exceptional blend of reserve stocks of Grande Champagne Cognac, matured in old casks, distilled in the mid 1970s. It has a striking copper colour. On the nose there are delicate fragrances of spice, sesame seed, oak and baked pears, developing with more air into pineapple, light toffee, milk, and brown sugar. The palate is deep and viscous with moderately sweet notes of ripe pear, almond, Oloroso sherry, orange peel, and leatherwood honey. The finish has hints of brown sugar with notes of vanilla
