Top 10 Reviewers
I have been blindtasting wine on a regular basis with a group of friends for mor than thirty years and got more and more fascinated by spirits during the last five years. After exploring r(h)ums and whisk(e)y I finally got into Armagnac and Cognac. I am happy to be able to continue this interesting journey.
Passionate cognac enthusiast from Norway
I am an opinionated old man. After half a century of cognac I still have a pedestrian palate.
I have a passion and love for all spirits, but particularly world brandy and world whisk(e)y. The great people at Cognac-Expert have greatly increased my exposure to not only more Cognac, but smaller producers who are doing phenomenal things!! Love you all!! Cheers!!

A seasoned whisky enthusiast making my way through the delights of cognac. Santé!
Hello I am Theodor. I am in love with Cognac, started out in 2016 with regular tastings. Then had to do a pause for some time and I am back in 2021.
French wine, and the concept of terroir, captured my interest early on. Naturally, curiosity took me to spirits, in particular Cognac. Today I'm proud to be a member of the Cognac Expert team managing B2B projects, working on Cognac Expert Originals, and writing bottle reviews for the English Blog. I love to taste anything and everything - rum/rhum, whisky(ey), Armagnac, etc. - but no other spirit grabs my attention quite like Cognac, and all of its subtleties and nuance. Santé !

A shy nose but the taste delivers
Nose: Sweet dried fruits, chocolate, a strange but pleasant hint of diesel(?!?), this one requires patience though, also some subtle herbal notes and a touch of wood. All lovely but it’s not the most expressive nose. Taste: Powdery chocolate, dried fruit, very rich, some wood and herbal notes,...
Great old Borderies Cognac - Maxime Trijol
Deep amber colour. The cognac opens up with a deep, complex nose on sweet floral notes, fine spices (szechuan pepper, cloves and a little bit of cinnamon) together with noble wood. The palate is quite intense on spices, elegant wood again and sweet dried fruits (figs, dates). The finish is lon...
Great Fins Bois Expression with Unique Profile
Tropical fruits (I am not good at distinguishing different exotic fruits as I don't like their taste that much and rarely have any but can tell the overall vibe and flavor), notes of orange orchard fruits аnd apricot/peach compote, caramel, nut, oak, rancio, a bit musty and rustic. Mouth is bala...
Young Fruity Cognac with Good Complexity and Balance
The nose leads with ripe pears, then vanilla, green apples, lemon, and a hint of oak. When sniffing from certain angles, something bright and flowery emerges, like a very deep layer buried under the fruits. The mouth follows the nose with pears, apples, lemons, and a very pleasant sweetness like ...
