Let us tell you something - this is cool and we can prove it. This is one of the very finest examples of what Cognac makers actually drink as an aperitif for lunch (the more you know), and it comes from Cognac's first organic estate. The blend starts with the unfermented juice of Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Montils then Eau-de-Vie de Cognac (meaning un-aged distillate) is added to bring the alcohol up to 17% and actually prevent fermentation. Aged for three years in used Cognac, which results in a complex bottle of goodness, full of spiciness and sweetness, while showing notes of apricot and dried fruits with a little kick at the finish. You can fo like the cognac makers or you could drink this chilled, or even on ice for more complexity.
