Petit Chien Brun 1993 30 Year Old French Brandy Single Cask (70cl, 50.1%)

This is a 30 year old French brandy from a single cask, distilled on 30 November 1993. The cask was later moved to Scotland and the brandy was bottled there on 26 October 2024 at its natural strength of 50.1% ABV, in a 70cl bottle. Because it was bottled outside France, the label reads French Brandy rather than Cognac. Little Brown Dog filled 232 bottles. The nose brings Sirop de Liège, lichen and the mustiness of an antique shop. On the palate come caramelised pineapple, apricot tart and buttery pastry, followed by a finish of Highland toffee with Christmas spice.
