  Showing a lovely sweetness and more civility than you’d typically expect from a young cognac, however there is more wood than desired that tended to dull the flavors some.

  (random mid-week) Sweet wood, dried orange peel, marzipan, almond essence, hints christmas spice, even tinge cola nut. Bright stone fruit, dark choc, somewhat leafy mints. Finishes nutty and apple wood. Lingers long, sweet and clean, elegant timber notes with fresh leather.

  Whisky@Dale's (Quintara): Toasted cookie, nutty almond meal, bready hazelnut. Sweet on the palate, with lifted dried fruits, figs, copper and nutty ("smells like a freshly launched ship!" Dale said), finishing with impressions of sweet anise and new aircon.

  The youngest of the quartet and a personal favourite. Fresh and floral, sea breeze and candied fruit, mineral and energetic, light but not ephemeral, balanced out beautifully by the warmth from the wood, harmonious and elegant, fragrant and long. I do not drink Cognac every day, but if I would...

  With Jacques of Tesseron.
  Tesseron family - 4th generation estate. they own the distillery, they own the estate. Tesseron created 10 years ago. Previously they were supplying grapes to old houses. They're in Grand Champagne, focus on XO segment. VS (2yr min), VSOP(4yr min), and XO (6yr min).
  
  Lot 90 is the youngest blend. 10-15 years old. blend of Grand Champagne, Petit Champagne and Fins Bois. They blend across the regions for complexity.
  Distilled 2x, then into barrel. Limousine oak. Stays there (in new barrel) for 8 months. Then into older barrels. Some upto 100 years old.
  They have the largest stock of old cognac (1820-1900) in their cellars.
  Lot 90- fresh and aromatic. apple and spice.
