COGANC Grosperrin Ordinaire Isle d’Oleron

This is no “ordinaire” Cognac! I’ve been searching for one of these since forever. It comes from an island, Oléron, off the coast of Cognac, the humblest of all Cognac regions. Most of the Cognac industry looks down on this region (its classified Bois Ordinaires,” or ordinary), but if you select it

COGNAC Grosperrin Petite Champagne VSOP

At 10+ years old, this is roughly twice the minimum age of the typical VSOP Cognac. The Grosperrin VSOP encapsulates Petite Champagne, with brith, zesty dry fruit, vanilla (but it’s delicate and French, so call it vanille) lemon, quince. At a firm 42% abv, it wants a few drops of water to express the nose. Give it some tim

CALVADOS Christian Drouin Hors d’Age

Here is Coeur de Lion, probably the leading light in Calvados. Their middle-aged Hors d’Age is excellent and traditional, with a fine depth of rich flavors—baked apple, bread, toffee—and a uniquely grainy mid-palate, all set of by nice tangy freshness. The aroma is sedate and complex, ranging from buttered and

CHATEAU de Beaulon Cognac Folle Blanche

Crafted entirely from the antique Folle Blanche grape (all but unheard of in modern Cognac), this brandy clearly marches to a different drummer. The nose is fascinating, immediately different from other Cognacs, with high-toned fruits, figs, coconut, vanilla, and spice. In the mouth, its flavors are long and firm, again with spi

CHATEAU de Busca XO Armagnac

This Busca XO—man, it’s just a terrific Armagnac, especially for an 80 proofer. It offers great fruit detail (red, blue, golden ripe) plus violet-red floral notes and a minty-thyme finish. It’s highly distinctive, never trying to be the XO for every drinker, just a damned good Armagnac. This is a step-up yet af

ARMAGNAC Castarède VSOP

At double the legal minimum age for a VSOP, this Castarède is a perfect introduction to the glories of the rustic Gascon brandy. The nose is nicely controlled, with just a bit of appropriate heat along with walnut skin, oak, prune, nougat. The palate enters dry and medium-full, a very typical Armagnac, just what you want

LEPANTO Solera Gran Reserva Oloroso Viejo

The Lepanto Solera Gran Reserva Oloroso Viejo does indeed express notes of old Oloroso. There’s a wonderful depth of grape and cask behind the layers of aged brandy. It’s dry in the brandy, soft (though I wouldn’t say sweet) in the cask. It shows an authoritative tannic austerity throughout, with good oloroso s

COCKTAIL COMPANION: Hip Flask

Noted use of the hip flask began in the 18th Century as way to hold yummy distillates for those out and about. A far cry from the original pig bladder and gutted fruit, today hip flasks are stylish, sleek and signal a bit of sophistication. Available in a variety of different finishes: stainless steel, leather bound and plastic.

TPS Buffalo Trace Experimental Rye 'n Barrel

Whether from Scotland or America, whiskeys finished in wine barrels are old news by now. Nevertheless, I was curious how an American straight rye would act in a wine barrel. I contacted America’s greatest dessert wine maker, in Napa Valley, for some help with the barrels. This wine maker's top quality French oak barrels, i

TPS Buffalo Trace Experimental Wheat On Rye

This experiment grew out of a wish to explore the soft textures of wheated Bourbon. Wheated Bourbons can pick up a unique wood spice note from the new charred oak barrel they are aged in, but they lack the specific spiciness of the rye small grains found in most Bourbons. What would a wheated taste like with the spice from rye?
