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!!

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 !

Based in San Francisco, CA, I grew up on a vineyard in Europe. I am avid wine, and scotch enthusiast, and I have been exploring Cognacs and Armagnacs as a newly found passion.

Lembert XO
18 May 2022
Surprisingly very good. At this price point I assumed it would be good but average; turns out it’s above average for sure. I got the impression the taste started leaning towards nutty or almond and less fruity, but more balanced after a few tastings, it was great. Planning on ordering again....

Easy drinking

This is top of their ordinary range, only the Heritage is older. This is a very dark cognac. It is a bit shy on the nose, it takes time to get the aromas out of the glass. Then you can find tones of vanilla, fruit and some elegant wood. It is quite smooth in the mouth, you can find hints of spices...

It is very delicate on the nose with distinct tones of fruits like citrus. It is smooth in the mouth, a bit...

This XO was bought in 2017 following an advice from a very knowledgeable shopkeeper. Voyer had been a favorite for years, but this was our first discovery of Vaudon. This cognac is very delicate on the nose with clear tones orange peel. After some time in the glass I also find hints of chocolate....

Delicate young and fresh VSOP
15 May 2022
This is a relatively new blend from JF. It is fresh and young on the nose. You can find clear tones of citrus. It is also quite fruity in the mouth. The body could have had volume. The finish is also a bit narrow. This is a great young cognac. It is a typical spring cognac. I also assume it goes well...
