Fanny Fougerat Cedre Blanc XO CognacCognacFanny Fougerat 70cl 44% Cdre Blanc is the older of Fanny Fougerat's XO cognacs, being distilled by the auteur grower distiller from the 2000 vintage of the family's Ugni Blanc grapes from their Fins Bois vineyards. Bottled at the higher than usual strength of 44% to really let the fruit and rancio flavours sing, Fanny Fougerat Cdre Blanc is a pure XO cognac with no chill filtration, added sugar or caramel colouring. This is a tobacco y, leathery

but better late than never

Laphroaig may be the Marmite of Scotch whisky

these tranches of amazing single casks were a revelation for Glendronach

A fantastic single cask

with the long maturation adding some nice complexity to the cavalcade of fruit

with its wonderful old school Highland complexity and delicious tropical fruit character

the distillery's 18-year-old is richly-sherried without being cloying or over-powered

You'll need:

This Macallan 18-year-old Double Cask is stylistically in the middle between the full sherry oak matured Macallans and the Triple Cask Fine Oak style

with lemon tart and almonds
