Light, nuanced and soft, this dark gold brandy breathes a bright, fresh aroma of fresh apple. The fruity aromas are minimal as the focus is a bit more musky and spicy, but what fruits are there are more in the prune family. A bit sweet as you taste, those flavors quickly veer to bittersweet and finishes slightly nutty and tart. The dried fruits come through a bit more than on the nose, but don’t get into those fruit punch flavors some very young cognacs have.

The palate is bold and youthful, with a touch of vanilla, suffused with the heat of distillation and the youth of roasted oak. A brandy full of supple tenderness.
