Hogsworth 10 Year Batch 1 (750ml)

Tasting Notes:

Aspect: Golden orange with lovely oily 'tears' running down the glass which is a positive sign of quality.

Nose: Vanilla brioche with lashings of butter, French toast, sticky caramel and lightly toasted fresh oak staves. A hint of orange marmalade bubbling in the pot and candle wax. Demerara sugar and creme caramel, toffee apples. Clean and fresh with a zesty zing.

Palate: Silky in the mouth with lovely nutty sensation and a continuation of the patisserie aromas found in the nose. Creamy sweet notes of vanilla and dried fruits like autumn pears and figs. Smooth and very agreeable with an underlying power that does not dominate. Finish: Soft and long-lasting finish. A perfect digestif that would also complement a walnut tart, pecan pie, apple tart, or a platter of cheese. The Armagnac brings great structure, complexity, and depth to the whole.
