A remarkable vintage cognac from Hermitage, drawn from Grande Champagne, the most prestigious cru in the Cognac region, and distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes in 1917. Bottled at 42.5% ABV, it shows the depth and complexity that only a century of cask ageing can bring. dried fruit, walnut, angelica and dry spice on the nose, with citrus, stone fruit and toasted oak developing on the palate, finishing on grapefruit peel and kumquat. An extraordinary, museum-piece cognac for serious collectors rather than everyday drinking.
