The base cognac rests first in new French oak casks of 350 to 400 liters, which lay down structure and spice. For the finish, Limousin oak casks were shipped to the island of Madeira and left to soak in Madeira wine for two full years, so the wood arrives back in Cognac saturated with the fortified wine's dried-fruit character. The result sits naturally alongside the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/brandy\"\u003ebrandy\u003c\/a\u003e and cognac shelf: recognizably cognac, with a dark, winey richness layered over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose leads with raisin, prune, and sweet wine, joined by balsamic depth, toffee, and a touch of coconut.
