Whiskynotes:

Prunier Cognac Lot 56 ‘Petite Champagne’ (52,8%, OB +/- 2021, 570 btl.)

Nose: a tad subdued. There’s sweet fruit tea with herbal notes, as well as some honeysuckle and hints of old cigar boxes. Citrusy Timut pepper. Spearmint. Still quite elegant, albeit less exuberant than the previous expressions.

Mouth: a more robust and tannic arrival than the previous two. On the other hand it also shows a beautiful wave of pink grapefruits, tangerines and apricots. Some toffee. Finally minty notes mixing with tobacco leaves and nutmeg towards the end.

Finish: quite long, mixing sweet notes (toffee) with an earthy / minty note.

This Lot 56 is slightly sweeter, which adds so much richness and hides some of the old woody hints. A very balanced, complex cognac. Around € 600. Score: 89/100
