Top Ten Liquors from NYC Indie Spirits Expo 2017
“…this organic Cognac may be the most interesting brandy I’ve tried. It has an extremely long finish with pleasing wood tones and hints of vanilla. There are many notes of other flavors, but they exist in such a complimentary manner, it’s like a symphony. It may sound pretentious, but there’s no other way to describe it. Plus, the label is adorable– it’s got snails and leaves and butterflies to represent all the life in the vineyard where the grapes are grown!”

“Amber with an aroma of apples, cherries and oak. A lovely, light taste of oak, fruits and sweetness — well balanced. A light body. Finishes spicy with alcohol warmth.”
