2022 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Branson XO Grande Champagne Cognac (France), 40% abv, $249.99, 750 ml

95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Beautiful mahogany in the glass with classic notes of toasted wood, black tea leaves, caramel, dried peach, and baked pear on the nose. The palate is complex, with evolved flavors of hazelnut brittle, stewed cherries, and a touch of tea-like tannins. Long and decadent finish.
