The very same teams responsible for “Lot 65”, a legendary Grande Champagne single cask Cognac, bottled for Wealth Solutions way back in 2015. This time a new bold Cognac was selected from the cellars of Vallein Tercinier, Petite Champagne “lot 85”. Matured in French Oak and bottled at cask strenght 51% ABV that yield only 570 bottles and no chill-filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBottled in 2020 for Wealth Solutions Hong Kong – Distilia and Wealth Solutions SNG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA suave, greedy and complex Cognac with a perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGreedy first nose of orange blossom, vine flower and fresh fruits followed by aromas of candied fruits, apriccot, fig and pear compot with subtil vanilla note at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMouth delicately fruity, very soft with a superb length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89\/100 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewhiskyfun.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is cask strength. Colour: gold. Nose: I think it’s not the first time I’m finding a little botrytis in some Vallein Tercinier. Naturally, this cannot be, unless they’ve added drops of old Sauternes or other similar beauties to the cask while no one was watching. Or it is just an analogical feeling, after all there are no peaches in cognac either. So, stewed peaches, a tiny mentholy side, some sultanas, some liquorice… In fact all these are not really spectacular, it’s the balance and the way all this is working together that’s brilliant. Think the Zappa band, ha. With water: a little saponification for a few seconds (happens), then biscuits, tobacco, a little mint and a little camphor, green melons, then simply some lovely green tea. I’m often quoting blue-green Wulong\/Oolong… They have some great ones in Taiwan. Mouth (neat): starts liquorice-and-citron-driven, gets then unexpectedly salty (a wee bit), then herbal (mint tea, walnut skin) and lastly, fruity. Peaches, apricots and raisins. With water: herbs and fruit peel or skin in majesty. A very curious feeling of peat in the background. No, my glass was immaculately clean, I promise. Finish: long… hold on, it’s got ‘something’ of Highland Park. Comments: a wonderful rather grassier petite champagne.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSGP:461 – 89 points.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48780929139036,"sku":"","price":130.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1238\/2300\/files\/Lot-85-Distilia-Famille-Vallein-Tercinner-51.jpg?v=1718270488","url":"https:\/\/distilia.com\/products\/lot-85-cognac-famille-vallein-tercinier-for-distilia-51","provider":"Distilia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
