Merlet C² Lemon & Cognac combines the expertise of the Merlet family as liquorists and distillers, and plays on the classic complementarity between cognac and citrus fruits, here yellow lemon and lime.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: The nose is clearly focused on lemon with notes of ginger, licorice, and spices.
PALATE: The tasting on the palate is an explosion of flavors. The cognac and lemons blend instantly. Then comes the freshness of the zest, combined with vanilla, fruit, and the woodiness of the cognac.
FINISH: A beautiful length where bitterness, acidity, and spicy notes mingle.
