ORGASM NIRVANA CONGAC

Exceptional 95 /100

this cognac is an orgasm inside of it the flavor of this cognac is unlike any other it is very fruit heavy very exotic fruits the main fruit is guava and this drink is very potent so all you need is 2 tablespoons and you get the affects to pair it with a cuban cigar for around 20 dollars is unlike anything else and best pairing of all is 90% percent above dark chocolate it just blends like birds flying when beautiful clouds in the sky which make an amazing picture and can relate to humans because they all have different body expressions and like humans we all have different emotions. This bottle is beautiful it shows a dream house to own in the south of France living with a beautiful petit french girl and a plum wine burgundy vintage porsche 911 with suede seats and then come home and look forward to sit by the fire with this nirvana (Nirvana is the highest spiritual state that can possibly be achieved. Entering the realm of Nirvana is only possible for those who have become pure. uncountable noun. People sometimes refer to a state of complete happiness and peace as nirvana.) In short someone who has reached the pinacle and peak of the mountain of happiness. beautiful cognac. beautiful world.

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?
