Distillerie Charpentier 45 yo (61.6%, Cadenhead, Cognac, Petite Champagne, 2019) 61.6% at 45 years of age? Did this baby age in Guyana? Colour: deep gold. Nose: raisins, fir smoke, stewed apricots, jasmine, white chocolate. With water: very subtle teas, benzoin, a wee touch of musk, putty, a drop of ink, a little metal polish, copper coins… Mouth (neat): marmalade, raisins in rum, cinnamon rolls, stewed rhubarb, white pepper, soft Espelette chillies, paprika. With water: some menthol coming through, some liquorice as well, more marmalade, Szechuan pepper, grapefruits… This one has become totally malternative. Finish: long, dry, on coffee beans and cocoa at first, then marmalade with cloves, caraway and pepper. Comments: still a wee tad rustic, but we’re approaching stardom in my book. SGP:561 - 89 points.
