Producer Note
"Cognac Sponge Edition No.6 is a Heritage.72 Grande Champagne cognac, one of 180 bottles from a single cask at natural cask strength of 50.2%. If our 1972 Armagnac could be equated to an old Glen Grant, this rather more subtle, fine-boned and complex old Grande Champagne Cognac of similar pedigree could be said to resemble a venerable aged Linkwood or Strathisla. Anyway, all you whisky hoarding grainiacs should stop messing about with whisky (except our bottlings, naturally) and give these Cognacs a spin! Dried fruits, earths, tobacco and rancio with a slender drizzle of honey over the top - there are abundant pleasures to be had with these old spirits."

“Nose: deep and layered on preserved fruits, flower honeys, fir wood resins and dried exotic fruits. Has the finesse and depth of a great Grande Champagne in abundance and shows wonderful maturity. Palate: a lovely balance of power and assertiveness of wood spice, herbs and resins, along with many dried and crystalised fruits, honeys, flower nectars and complex flavours and fennel seed and wormwood. Finish: long and filled with crystalised fruits, exotic fruit teas, heather honey and earthy tobacco impressions.”
