GSN’s Remarks: Smells like breakfast, with the heavy toast fragrance awakening your senses. The cognac cask additionally provides a complete new dimension right here, with a grape spirit ahead presentation that sparkles the nostril. Glorious entry on the tongue, with fruit, oak, char and the grain invoice all working in tandem. The flavors progress from a luscious Cognac tinged whiskey spirit to an extremely dry end. In between, there’s a assured and alluring persona that begs for sip after sip. The physique is medium, and the end goes on for miles. As with all the earlier PHC releases, this one is one other gem. GSN Ranking: A++
