World Whiskey Society 6 year old Cognac Cask Finished, 56%

The nose delivers raspberry compote, stewed pears, and cheesecake with berry sauces. Strawberry and peach nectar complement the fruit basket nose, with white chocolate, pretzels, and gingersnaps providing depth. The sip is drier and a bit hot on the tongue, but that heat fades into rich fruits, including white grape and more berries. The finish is slightly tannic, with cherry cough drops and oak creating a slightly medicinal flavor. (3,000 bottles)
