Tasting Notes from Serge @ Whiskyfun.com - 91 POINTS

"I find it cool that the excellent Maltbarn would delve into Cognac. Now we can’t claim they didn’t choose their source wisely, can we… Colour: gold. Nose: Vallein Tercinier are making Cognacs that appeal to malt lovers, and this is another example why, with these perfect notes of natural vanilla, this melon jam, the quinces and apricots, the whiffs of chocolate mint (ever nosed that?), this panettone, orange blossom water, beeswax, even pollen, orange cake… Mouth: perfect. Candied citrus, whisky-y touches of mangos, a little peppermint, a drop of lavender honey (from Valensole, naturally), some candied angelica, perhaps even a slice of fresh rhubarb… Finish: pretty long, with a little vanilla and a little tea. I told you, it’s slightly whisky-y. All for the better. Comments: I’ll keep looking for flaws. See you next year…
