I haven’t reviewed any brandy in awhile so I just pulled this out of the pile and wow this thing is delicious. A good bit of oak but not overpowering. Fruity, savory, ands spicy in all that best ways. That Raspberry note is powerful and delicious. A real winner of cask here and Im real sad it is sold out now. Ah well, only a few years too late.
