1 Jan 1960
An immensely impressive Grande Champagne Cognac here from the Hermitage range, distilled back in 1960 and matured for 50 years before being bottled in 2010! Hermitage has a real knack for searching out well-aged expressions, and they have done an incredible job here.
Deeply savoury, very woody with aromatic spice, menthol, camphor, plus apricots both fresh and dried, phenomenal complexity.
Tannic and woody but not too much, rather like a good claret. There’s plenty of fruit here too with dark chocolate, coffee and toffee.
Dark chocolate, orange peel, very long with bitter espresso coffee like you get in Naples.
Big brooding style, lots of cask influence but with gorgeous fruit.
