Hermitage Cigar 15 Grande Champagne Cognac - 41% 70cl

Hermitage Cigar 15 is an elegantly spiced 15-year-old Grande Champagne Cognac from esteemed bottlers Hermitage.

The company's cognacs are selected by Hermitage's founder David Baker, one of the UK's greatest exponents of the art of the eaux-de-vie.

Hermitage Cigar 15 is made exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes in Grande Champagne, the Cognac region's most prestigious sub-appellation.

Assembled from a small batch of eaux-de-vie aged for 6-8 months in new Limousin oak casks before being reracked into refill casks to ensure a slow maturation and allow the spirit's complexities to develop.

Hermitage Cigar 15 is an excellent post-prandial sipping cognac with delicious flavours of exotic fruit accompanied by pleasing tobacco, spice and nutty notes and a hint of cocoa powder.

There are fine aromas of tobacco, almond and nutmeg. The drier forest floor flavours beautifully complement yeasty tones with walnut, saffron and cocoa tailing off to a long kumquat finish.
