Cognac, 'Selection', 5 Yrs Old

• Grande Champagne Cognac grown and distilled at Maison Dudognon in Lignières-Sonneville
• Distilled from 100% Ugni Blanc on alembic stills fired with charcoal and wood
• Aged 5 years in Limousin oak
• Water is the only component added to the distillate; no other additives are used
• A nose of underripe pear, chocolate crème, white flowers & honeycomb transition to a spikey palate of baby arugula and macadamia skin; poached yellow apple arrives fashionably late on the long finish
• 44% ABV

While young and light in body, this Cognac’s fresh-fruit character and higher-than-average ABV make it ideal for mixing, lending structure to a variety of classic and modern cocktails.
