Description

The Last Drop folks are once again showing off their skills with acquiring incredibly rare spirits, and this time they've somehow got their hands on Cognac dating all the way back to 1925! This pre-Second World War Grande Champagne Cognac was distilled back in the middle of the '20s, and the cask was hidden behind a wall in a cellar during the Second World War. Many years later, the cask was discovered and bottled up with an outturn of only 182 bottles, alongside a 5cl miniature of the same liquid - so you can keep your full bottled sealed while still tasting the Cognac.

Overall

A perfect balance between all its component parts, giving it a wonderful elegance and freshness. The nose and the palate are equally powerful and complex, and no single aroma or flavour dominates the others. It is perfect harmony in cognac. The fruit (very ripe exotic fruits, such as mango, jackfruit, mangosteen and papaya) overlays mellow but powerful oak flavours which stop short of astringency. The almost explosive ‘rancio’ provides great length to the palate but is beautifully offset by the elegant acidity that brings a touch of lightness. In the finish, we detect an unusual hint of ‘café au lait’, with a touch of English toffee, alongside oaky, orange peel, prune and nutty flavours.
