остатки после зимы ... Самый интересный безусовно 40-летний Daniel Bouju ...
"Daniel Bouju does not use any additives (other than water) in his
Cognac; the very dark color of his bottlings is achieved naturally from
the oak cask. His Cognacs are notably dry, almost austerely so, when
compared with many subtly sweetened Cognacs from other houses. For the
40 year Tres Vieux or 15 year Royal, Bouju does not even add water,
bottling brut de fût, or cask strength at 50% or 60% alcohol. These
powerful brandies are bottled unfiltered, with the regular Bouju
bottlings receiving only a gentle filtration at room temperature.
Daniel Bouju Cognacs are famous for extended aging—the XO is 25 years
old—but also for their iconoclastic, almost controversial style. Most
Cognacs offer a relatively light, delicate, pale style of brandy.
Bouju’s Cognacs, on the other hand, are easily the biggest I’ve ever
tasted. These are as full bodied as most Bourbon whiskies, dry and
richly oaky in the best sort of way. In particular, they offer rancio,
that rare flavor complex found in certain aged spirits which tastes
hauntingly of earth, mushroom, cream, walnut, cheese, butter. It’s a
very Old World sort of taste which you just can’t find in most Cognac
today. Bouju is like a clinic in rancio, especially the older bottlings
but also in the 10-year-old VSOP. Capturing and highlighting this
rancio note is perhaps one of Daniel Bouju’s greatest achievements."

Это в теории, а на практике - вот это
напоминает спиртовые обмывки с коньячной бочки
