As stated and I also self proclaim to be, a Connoisseur of Cognac.

Ranked by overall appeal, in flavor, and value!

Exceptional 91 /100

I do enjoy the mononym of the brand name of ABK6, I am aware this house is newer, and they stand out in all areas in appearance, character, and even flavor, This is a Fin Bois only Elixir, and there is only good things from this Blend! My reviews are to the point, and I am very fair in all aspect from the appearance of the bottle, to the initial opening and aromas, to the pouring and color, and of course to the sipping and of the flavors and ideas that come with this inspirational Cognac! I first tried these with the 50ml shooters, and of course poured them in the appropriate glass (Brandy Snifter, Room temp) from VS to XO I tried, however, I am reviewing the VSOP, because, it is worth every penny and it competes with those VS giant houses with similar prices, and beats them! The Bottle is simply elegant, and uses Gold in a very professional fashionable way, the label, the elegant inscribed writing on each bottle, very clever and discrete especially in the world of Cognac! These little hints are telling you, what you are about to experience, is unique, abided by the beautiful yet strict laws of making Cognac, with the passion of delivering a fine product, with ultimate value, especially from a smaller house! A Gem indeed!, after taking some time to remove the would be gold seal, the twist off cap is different from the traditional cork! I still clean off the lip every time in respect to tradition of pouring and serving Cognac! As pictured, I love to pour a glass of Cognac, It is exquisite and nothing like anything of this world! a beautiful Deep Gold, aromas of immediate apple, Vanilla, cinnamon, apricot with Oak and spices tingle the aroma at the end. I let every Cognac in the respect to the age, and with research, to let it air out, accordingly to the youngest Eau-De-vie, to the oldest, I let sit in the snifter, and in my hand to swirl occasionally, and to warm to excite the Elixir, excited I am slowly to breathe in the aromas again before I let the liquid reach my lips, and tongue and mouth, to conclude with a supple, and rich, flavor, Oak, Vanilla, Apple, Cinnamon at the top, apricot, floral, and a hint of raisin, reach the bottom, a smooth, medium finish. Fin Bois continues to amaze me! as well as this cellar master who blends this VSOP! it is Simple, and the finish isn't extremely long, however, given its presentation and value, it makes up for anything lacking! and thus why it has been regarded as it has! This would make an excellent mixed drink though I prefer to drink as I have spoken above! This is great for the Experts to try themselves like I, or, for the very beginner, who is new to this amazing and unique world of Cognac! a Must try for all! and to inspire!
