Aged in bourbon barrels and then finished in cognac casks, it evolves through empyreumatic, medicinal, and camphoraceous sequences that highlight its abundantly fruity character and its extreme richness. The palate is powerful and creamy, with intense notes of vanilla, licorice, and then precious woods. The finish is more pastry-like, with notes of rum baba and crème brûlée. The finishing process has allowed the complexity of this single cask to develop while giving it an intense amber color.TASTING NOTES:Color: Intense amberNose: Both lively and smooth, with aromas of chocolate, apricot, orange, and dried fruit.Palate: Taut and creamy, with intense notes of precious woods, vanilla, licorice, and chestnut.Finish: Long and silky.
