Deep amber in color. Double distilled in copper stills (Charentais method), aged in oak barrels for at least 4 years (VSOP), a blend of distillates from various crus. The aroma is dominated by dried plums, apricots, and orange peel, complemented by vanilla, caramel, and ripe pear, with light notes of pepper, nuts, and oak. The taste is round, smooth, medium-bodied, and warming. The finish is long, spicy-sweet, and slightly drying. Pairs well with dark chocolate and dried fruits. We recommend serving it with chocolate fondant, nut cakes, and duck liver.
