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.
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 !
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!!

by Nikola M.
Sweet, Yellow apples and apricots. Vanilla, some wood, followed by a hint of nuttiness and acacia honey. Overall, a very enjoyable balanced young Armagnac. If I have to compare it to drinks of similar age this is better than all VSOP cognacs I had.

Great Pomace Brandy
19 Apr 2024
by Nikola M.
On the nose, fine notes of tobacco, oak, spices, and a dose of ginger (with few drops of water). The mouth is consistent with the nose and fruitiness. It has a pleasant robustness because it was distilled from pomace. It makes the mouth wet and longing for another sip. This is very similar...

CE package arrived after a long time. My patience was running out and I immediately wanted to try this VSOP Armagnac. I had only tasted one XO Armagnac before. My surprise was big, VSOP, Armagnac tastes better than XO Coganc! Why haven't I tried such exquisite drinks before? As a Cognac fan, I de...

Tasty Young Brandy
12 Apr 2024
by Nikola M.
The first thought is Light Speyside Bourbon Aged Scotch or Irish Pot Still Whiskey. Tons of yellow fruits, mirabelle plums, golden apples, pear, delicate woodiness, floral notes and vanilla. The ABV doesn't feel as 57%. Very drinkable and enjoyable neat. It is very different from the typica...
