Courvoisier Initiale Extra Cognac, 70 cl

So the youngest Eau de Vie (spirits that are blended to create Cognac) nestled in here is 30 years old and the oldest is 50- all originating from the classic Cognac regions of Grande Champagne and Borderies. In Cognac terms these two regions are very different indeed. Grande Champagne tends to produce rich and spicy spirit whilst Borderies is renowned for lighter more floral styles. And so the result here is a superb marriage of the two styles. A fragrant nose subtly leads into what ends up being a relatively spicy/ fruit cake Cognac. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommended.
