About this bottle

Guillon-Painturaud is a family-owned cognac grower-producer with its estate having been in the family since 1610. In the 1970s the brand ceased selling to large cognac houses and have since bottled their cognac under their family name. This practice is still very rare in the region now, and was nothing short of revolutionary at the time. After fermentation, the wine (made from estate-grown ugni blanc) is distilled unfiltered. The resulting eau-de-vie matures in bespoke French oak barrels from the Limousin and Tronçais forests. The brand's VSOP is aged, on average 15 years--far longer than the required 4 years for the category. No additives added before bottling at 80 proof.

AnttiRG 4.0

An elegant, estate-bottled Brandy from Cognac, France made with Ugni Blanc & aged for a minimum of 4 years. It has an aromatic birth with notes of pear, elderflower & vanilla; while a delicate & balanced life adds notes of orange, peach, Chamomile, Grappa, vanilla, toffee, orange blossom & fruit tarts; that leads to a rich death of medium length with notes of almond, honey & caramel.

Simon Pak 4.0

A light cognac that is very fruity - A lot of oranges and mango, with some honey and toffee. Very little oak or any wood influence. A very easy cognac to enjoy.

Nate PineOrchard 4.0

Light but bright fruit nose, fruit burst up front before notes of vanilla followed by spice, nice finish lingers with apricot notes.

Verninator 3.0

Not great. Semi smooth but overly sweet, almost as if I’m drinking liquefied sprinkles.

Schott1984 3.5

White grapes, boozy nose, very fruity body.

Suz17 4.0

Similar to sherry, light sweetness
