Whiskynotes:

Prunier Cognac Cuvée N°1 ‘Winston Churchill’ – Borderies (47%, OB 2022, 1000 btl.)

Nose: quite a unique scent, a combination that reminds me of violets and polished brassware or copper. Then plenty of fresh minty notes and eucalyptus with stone fruits underneath. Orange peels and subtle rose petals. Light whiffs of linseed oil. Hints of leather and black peppercorns too.

Mouth: right, this has the punch that was missing from the Claire release. There’s mint and liquorice, as well as a hints of wildflowers. Subtle gin-like touches (juniper, clove, verbena) – uncommon, but very pleasant. Then white grape, tangerine, lemon peel and a subtle acidic touch of passion fruits. Hints of blonde tobacco leaves and tea towards the end.

Finish: long, on marmalade, gentle oriental spice and floral notes.

Score: 91/100
