Dark amber in color with mahogany undertones. Double distilled in a Charentais still, aged for an extended period in French oak barrels (EXTRA category, significantly older than VSOP), a blend of Petite Champagne cru distillates. The aroma is dominated by dried figs, plums, and dates, complemented by tobacco, leather, and vanilla, as well as cocoa, coffee, spices, and old oak. The palate is full-bodied, silky, deep, with well-integrated alcohol. The finish is very long, warm, dryly spicy, and nutty. Pairs well with dark chocolate and cigars. We recommend serving it with chocolate cake, nutty desserts, and foie gras.
