Tasting Notes Serge Valentin (Whiskyfun.com): 89 points
A wee multi-vintage bottling by the Jimmy Pages of Armagnac.
Colour: deep amber.
Nose: the gap is pretty huge here, as this is simply stunning, complex, well-rounded, floral, fruity, slightly oriental, and certainly tropical. Mango jam, dandelions, heather honey… This is a nose to die for.
Mouth: forgot to say, these 43% vol. do represent the natural cask strength here. The spirit is amazing, just a tad oaky at times (black cigars, black tea) but there’s also as much chocolate as in the most superb chocolate pie in Paris. Check Jacques Genin, he’s also a dedicated whisky lover. Melon jam, apricots, Smyrna currants, more chocolate, even more chocolate (all that from the oak)… And just a little rancio.
Finish: long and very chocolaty. Black tea in the aftertaste – that’s the tannins.
Comments: the oak shows a wee bit, but come on, Jimmy Page!
