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.
