I received mine last week and popped a bottle over the weekend. It has a very intense aroma and flavor, and the higher ABV is definitely noticeable. It’s definitely different than other cognacs I’ve had (not that I’m anywhere near an expert), and I enjoyed it. Very long finish with weight and heft. Nuanced caramel flavor with some wild tastes I couldn’t place. Spice? Pepper? Citrus? Probably all of the above. Either way, I very much enjoyed it. I’d also note that I tried it both neat and with a few drops of water. I found that diluting it a tiny bit helped to open up the flavors and smooth out some of the wildness.
