A lovely cognac with sweet notes and aromas. Tastes full and flavourful with a strong, balanced finish which linger in the mouth and has a punch to it. An enjoyable sip from start to finish, complemented by a simple but classy bottle design. Overall it is smooth and elegant and great value for m...
Smells really really good. It's a nose that calls one into the glass, not shouting out to the drinker. Seemingly very mature and complex - not fair to try and pick it apart from just one sitting as I am doing now. Notes: beautiful old antique wood, rancio, Amaro with its orange-y bitter herbal wo...
Quite an extroverted nose and a very loaded/charged nose showcasing all sorts of aromas. Candied and dried fruit - really nothing fresh about the fruits here. On the road to heavy rancio. A dank musty dam earth humid cellar, what I imagine the cellar this one aged in smells like. A shade or darke...
Beautiful, pristine nose. Extremely clean and pure. Absolutely nothing obscures from the pretty floral peachy fruit - and that fruit is there in abundance in all shapes and sizes, with drippy ooozy juice. Faint touch of vanilla and interestingly an absence of oak. Maybe also a little miel de fleu...

Coming from an agricultural background, our grandfather having farmed and owned a vineyard, we've always been dedicated to the Cognac region, the people and naturally, to the drink we all know as Cognac. We have great admiration not only for the bigger houses such as Courvoisier, Camus and Hine, but also the smaller, family Cognac producers.
One day we were driving through the vineyards close to Blanzac, in the Fins Bois region, when we discovered a small producer we'd never seen or heard of before: This led us to think that there are so many brands out there that people don't know about. Neighbours, producers and friends have since introduced us to the wide field of different brandies and the whole Cognac experience. For example, one evening at a dinner in the neighbourhood our host presented a seemingly simple VSOP. And it also came with an anecdote about a winegrower who wanted to convince the cellar master of Hennessy that he could produce a great blend, so he created that particular VSOP Cognac solely with that in mind. It was a fantastic blend... but one couldn't buy it. It was situations such as this that led us to the idea to start a blog about the most famous of all brandies, Cognac. In the beginning we just started with a small Cognac blog, with a short piece reporting about the latest VS Cognac our father had brought home.
Today it's a much more than a blog; it's a platform with a list of all Cognac brands and producers, bottles and products, as well as a place that users on a global scale can exchange and talk about their experiences like a dedicated Cognac review platform.
These days we regularly visit estates from Conte et Filles and Raison Personelle to Camus and Godet; and we can exchange with enthusiasts and professionals worldwide. It's fantastic.
We created this website to share the unbelievable diversity of brandy brands and producers with an international readership, and we must say - it works!
