Nose: Super sweet - syrupy and loaded with confectioners sugar, rich raisin, grape, faint hops. Musty, rich, old tobacco, bright blackberry. Taste: Vanilla, misty grape, cocoa and raisin bread. Sweet toffee, loads of blackberry and currant. Cinnamon apple. Finish: Long, rich, musty and fun. Lots of apple, cinnamon, raisin bread, blackberry and toffee. Overall: So damn fun, what a great brandy. At this point, there is almost nothing from them that I won't try. This is no exception, and I wish there was more of this out there. Thanks for reading! Rank: 7
