"This is a blend of 40 percent Fins Bois, 40 percent Petite Champagne, and 20 percent Grande Champagne Cognac, using only Ugni Blanc grapes, aged for a minimum of four years. It has a youthful, herbal aroma that, oddly, can't help but remind us of the iconic 95/5 rye whiskeys. On the palate it's sweeter and desserty, with notes of bananas foster, caramel sauce, and dark chocolate. This is an after-dinner Cognac par excellence."
