Bio:
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.

I am an opinionated old man. After half a century of cognac I still have a pedestrian palate.
Bio:
After decades of drinking lots of whisky and not enough cognac, I have spent the last few years drinking quite a lot of both (and some Armagnac and Calvados too). I don’t look for whisky substitutes or comparisons in cognac, they are quite different spirits and should be treated as such. Both are magnificent I think.
Bio:
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!!

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.
Bio:
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 !

La Fût-sée ‘Lot 91’ (49.2%, WV Baker & Cie, Bons bois, +/-2025)
8 Apr 2026
by Serge Valentin
What a playful label! The whole thing—name included—gives off a delightfully good-natured, if slightly cheeky, vibe. Colour: gold. Nose: this one’s more on the earthy and herbal side, very much in line with the character of most ‘bois’, leaning towards fruit skins (melons, peaches) and ...

Les Ormeaux XO (Lot 72)
7 Apr 2026
by Taylor C.
Very nice and sincere Fins Bois Cognac here - and really a crazy age for the simple "XO" on the label. Really, not all XOs can be treated the same. Beautiful mature nose - absolutely zero mistaking this for a young Cognac. Spices, orange-y somewhat earthy fruits more on the candied side of ...

Really love this 53 year old Fins Bois
7 Apr 2026
by Max O.
Honestly this is a great, old value-for-money Cognac. The nose is rich, the body is very balanced. It is 40% so do not expect crazy intense character, if you're looking for a balanced single-cask single vintage Cognac, that is really pretty old, here you go.
