Review #867; Brandy #30: Jean-Luc Pasquet Lot 70 – Aficionados x Finedrams

This single cask of Cognac comes to us from Jean-Luc Pasquet from the village of Criteuil in the Grand Champagne region. This single cask of Cognac was aged for a long period before being bottled at cask strength with no additives.

ABV: 52.1%

Nose: Bright, Fruity, Pears, Raisins, Currants, Raspberry Jam, Rancio, Oak Spice, touch of Leather.

Palate: Thick oily mouthfeel, Rancio, Peppery, Pears, Raspberry Jam, Raisins, Blackberry, Leather.

Finish: Longer finish, Rancio, Plum, Black Pepper, Allspice, Currants, Raisins, Blackberry, Raspberry.

Rating: 8/10

Another outstanding cask from JLP as picked by the Afish crew. This one to me in the opposite of the Lot 68-72, as this is much brighter and fruitier in comparison. The spices and slight savory nose balance it out to make an excellent drinking experience.
