What Members Thought
Reviewers frequently compare this spirit to bourbon or rye, praising its crossover appeal. The palate balances dark fruits like raisins and sour cherry with sweeter notes of caramel, vanilla, and burned sugar, accented by spice and a smidge of smoke. It offers an oily, dense mouthfeel that warms the drinker, though some noted a dry, medicinal finish or a short-lived tartness. Overall, members found it to be an approachable, conversation-starting dram that improves with time on the tongue.

Tasting Notes
I get a lot of sour cherry up front with this that with a medicinal finish. I definitely taste the alcohol with this one, and it stays hot. However the heat is not overwhelming. Just a pleasant and substantial warmth that gives it more body.
A little tart, with Smokey fruity flavor. Warms you up.
Softer, more bourbon-like profile than the other Armagnacs we've tasted. Easier and more approachable. Left me with a very pronounced dry mouth.
