Otard Napoleon Extra Fine Cognac (40%)

This is an Otard Cognac made from a blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois, with eaux-de-vie up to 15 years old. It is bottled at 40% vol. The colour is deep mahogany with amber highlights and a flame-gold hue. The nose shows cedarwood and tobacco, prunes and dried fruit, coconut and hazelnut, with a trace of rose. The palate is sweet and syrupy with fruit, cedar and tobacco, smooth and mellow with gentle heat. The finish is balanced and elegant, with lingering dried fruit, wood spice and a soft fade.
