This is a five-year-old French single malt from the Cognac house Bache-Gabrielsen, made from French barley. Batch 1 is 3,000 bottles at 41% in a 70cl bottle, without chill-filtration or added colouring.
The whisky matured in the house's cellars, first in American oak casks that previously held Cognac, then in casks for Très Vieux Pineau des Charentes. That second stage contributes its notes of pear and mirabelle.
The nose combines pear, mirabelle and grape with pastry dough and vanilla cream. The palate is soft and fruity, with pear liqueur, stewed peaches, quince and candied orange. The finish is sweet and medium in length, with cinnamon and cocoa.
