Paul Giraud Très Rare konjaks

I apologize at the outset, but this bottle of Tres Rare is a Japan-only bottle. I am writing here because I have no other place to post a review of this bottle and because I want to promote Paul Giraud. This bottle is coming to confuse you, as it is marked "35 years old" but the notes say "all...

This spirit is nice, but for its price, does not represent a value. Everything about it is light and falls short of the power and expressiveness one expects from a 40-year-old cognac. A better value is the Ragnaud Saborin Florilege Alliance. At 45 years of age, it is medium bodied and more concentrated...

Color: chestnut On the nose: A lovely greeting of medium intensity dried apricots, baked apples and tobacco. There are very light and brief aromas of baked pears and cinnamon also. These aromas are consistent for a long while. A bit later, I get light aromas of sultanas. It’s quickly followed...

Quite nice cognac... but for the money...you are much better off with a Deau Louis Memory or a Courvoisier 21 and have something you will enjoy much more!!!! I do like this... !!! but for the value.... i would advise you go for the other two!!!

This is a nice mature grande champagne. It is very smooth with a lot of mature aromas. I really enjoy it. If anything, I think it would have benefitted from a higher percentage. Highly recommended.

I'm usually comparing Cognacs in a tasting against the De Luze XO which I really appreciate. Paul Giraud...

This is the third expression I've tried from Paul Giraud and this house is firmly in my top three favorite Cognac producers. You can smell, taste, and feel the passion and care that goes into their eau de vie. As with his other expressions, the nose on this is very earthy. Lots of leather/tobacco,...

Paul Giraud's Tres Rare is real quality in bottle. A clean bottlr without any frails, this is one cognac which can hold its own. An amazing blend of fruity explosiveness and woody complexity perfectly blended into one. Expect peach, nectarine and plum mixed with vanilla and honeysuckle with a long...

No surprises here, but Paul Giraud Trés Rare delivers good value in this category. Attractive aromas and flavors: nutmeg, tobacco, floral, spice, and underlying citrus. An intense, powerful finish is the strength here.

The nose is lifted, precise, and all around beautiful. There is a wonderful intersection of chiseled fresh, dried, and candied fruit and fragrant finely spicy oak - a great combo. Imagine mango, peach, apricot, and orange peel all coated in a fine mix of baking spices. I recall smelling similar aromas...
