Tasting notes :

On the nose : The aroma showcases an alliance between fruit and floral notes, with the succulence of peach leading the way. There's a refreshing twist of eucalyptus and menthol, which adds a bright, invigorating layer - powerful and warmly cooling. Underneath, the darker, richer scent of honey and muscat grapes weave in, complemented by the sweet, concentrated aroma of dried grapes in syrup. A sprinkle of cinnamon enhances the complexity, while the fresh scents of ripe apple and pear round out the bouquet. A subtle hint of tobacco adds depth, introducing an earthy, rich dimension.

On the palate, this spirit is a delightful mix of flavors. The sweet juiciness of peach and Muscat grapes is beautifully balanced with the orchard fruit notes. The warmth of cinnamon and the unique taste of tobacco contribute to the complexity. The darker, richer honey meld with the syrupy sweetness of the dried grapes, creating a lush, full-bodied experience. Present tannins add structure, giving the spirit a slightly robust edge, while the cooling sensations of eucalyptus and menthol provide a refreshing counterbalance.

The finish introduces a slight bitter note, an intriguing contrast to the sweetness and richness that precede it. This bitterness, coupled with the lingering flavors of fruits, flowers, and the refreshing menthol, creates a complex and memorable end.

Serving suggestions : To fully engage with the rich complexity and robust character of the Grateaud Brut de Fût Number 35, it's recommended to savor it in a tulip glass. This approach allows the intricate bouquet and deep, evolving flavors to be appreciated to their fullest, enhanced by the Cognac's natural cask strength. As the spirit gently unfolds, it reveals the layered nuances of a 35 years maturation process, characterized by the unique terroir of the Borderies region. Each sip offers a journey through time, celebrating the legacy of the Grateaud family's craftsmanship and the pioneering spirit that continues to define their contribution to the world of Cognac.
