What sticked to me during the tasting session was this is a real 25 year old cognac and is not just the average of the blends. On the nose, it's fragrant with notes of apples, fruit, and candied oranges. The palate echoes this with a distinct orange flavor. Had this as part of the samples for the...

Very nice XO cognac with notes of cedar,wood, some fruits, sultanas and oak.. Very tasty XO and for that price it is a steal!

Bitter orange peel, nutmeg, cinammon and rancio on the nose. There is a, earthy, mushroom approach on the palate. It's soft warm and delicious. The finish is of decent length with some warmer spice coming through. This is a very decent cognac although not the most characterful I have had. I can see...

This one is a winner at first look. Impressive bottle. And mouth discovers a great XO, very strong nose and fine vanilla and coffee palate. Not exactly e winner in Fins Bois class but affordable piece of cake for any mainstream XO connoisseur. A perfect example of everyday pleasure and surely the...

I have really enjoyed this XO Cognac. I love the oakiness of it. The copper color is inviting too. Nice fruit on the palate. Dried fruit too. You'll enjoy this. It is easy to tell that it's been in oak for a long time.

Upon opening more in the glass, the fruit and cedar really complement each other. It is full-bodied in the mouth,...

BOUQUET: Sweet, Red Cherry, Caramel TASTE: Oak, Spice, Sharp, Slight Rancio, Semi Sweet FINISH: Lingering Semi Sweet, Mild Citrus, Mild Spice, Salivary

Lustrous amber with copper highlights in the glass. The nose is cool and rich damp forest cedar and evergreens. Smooth and mellow, woody and nutty, matches well with chocolate. Nice finish.

It is rare that I taste cognac from producers I have never heard of and have no knowledge about. But that is the case here. So I didn't know what to expect when tasting this cognac. This is a 25 year old Fins Bois. In the glass this is a cognac with a deep amber color. It is quite thick in the...
