A fantastic cognac with a rum character! / Фантастический коньяк с ромовым характером!
Exceptional 93 /100
Fragrance
Rum notes of Jamaica and Trinidad, that is tropical fruit in nail polish remover. The brandy part is a ton of menthol, peach and strawberry jam, pine, vanilla.
Peaches develop in the air and the scent becomes simply magical!
Intensity: 10/10
Flavor
Just the bomb! This is something fantastic! The first wave is again a powerful rum style, but purely Jamaican style (sour glue and sweet licorice, solvent, bananas).
Intermediate state - the mouth tightens with tannin binders of grated grape seeds.
Second - a ton of reminiscent menthol, quince.
The flavor is constantly evolving, more peaches, a grassy bitterness appears. This is a fairly dry cognac.
Sweetness: 5/10
Fullness: 10/10
Aftertaste
Leftover menthol and there's a lot of it. Plus dryness, dry wood, cane juice, chili pepper.
Original Review:
Аромат
Ромовые ноты Ямайки и Тринидада, то есть тропические фрукты в растворителе для лака для ногтей. В коньячной части - это тонна ментола, персиково-клубничное варенье, хвоя, ваниль.
На воздухе развиваются персики, аромат становится просто волшебным!
Интенсивность: 10/10
Вкус
Просто бомба! Это что-то фантастическое! Первая волна - это снова мощная ромовая стилистика, но уже чисто стиля "Ямайка" (кислый клей и сладкая солодка, растворитель, бананы).
Промежуточное состояние - рот стягивает танинными вяжущими веществами перетёртых виноградных косточек.
Вторая - тонна напомнившего о себе ментола, айва.
Вкус постоянно развивается, персиков становится больше, появляется травянистая горчинка. Это достаточно сухой коньяк.
Сладость: 5/10
Насыщенность: 10/10
Послевкусие
Оставшийся ментол и его очень много. Плюс сухость, сухое дерево, тростниковый сок, перец чили.

Tasting
Nose
What aromas do you get when you sniff the Cognac? Do you get hints of fruits or flowers - perhaps it's sweet? Is it intense or rather flat - and most importantly, is the nose coherent to taste and finish? The nose is the most important part when tasting Cognac.

Mouth
A small sip: Allow your taste buds in the various areas of your mouth to distinguish the different flavours. This part of cognac tasting is described as ‘the palate’. Don’t just swallow it down; allow the liquid to touch all the regions of the mouth. Doing this is necessary as the taste buds pick up contrasting flavours in the different areas of the mouth; on the tip of your tongue to the sides, for example. Take a tiny sip to prep your palate for the sensory experience to come. Take a second larger sip, and gently roll the cognac around, etting it come into contact with every corner of your mouth. Focus on the perceived textural sensations. Are the sensations round and rich or fresh and elegant? Is the overall mouthfeel intense, balanced, disjointed, or lacking presence? In short, how does the cognac feel in your mouth?

Taste
Quite simply, what do you taste as you gently roll the cognac around in your mouth? Pay close attention to any flavors of fruits, flowers, oak, and spices - or a complex combination of those elements. Are the flavors cohesive with the Nose and the Mouth, giving a sense of balance and complexity?

Finish
The ‘finish’ is the experience you get after you’ve swallowed the cognac. What flavours can you detect? Is it a flat or rough finish and rather sharp, or is it a slight 'punch' you like? How long does the finish last? Also think about overall balance: How does the finish compare to nose and taste?

Overall Impression
Consider the Nose, Mouth, Taste, and Finish simultaneously - the cognac as a whole. Is there cohesion between the four categories, or does the cognac shine in some areas and appear dull in others? Quite simply, is the memory from the tasting experience one that will last your lifetime; is the memory good but nothing extraordinary; or is the cognac’s impact entirely forgettable?
