Epicure Folle Blanche The Original Cognac

On the nose, it captures the original sweetness of Cognac, at once exuberant and precise, fruity and floral, medicinal and even oceanic. Notes of malted barley and sea spray sit alongside hits of candied, citrus and exotic fruits, such as lemon, grapefruit and passionfruit, respectively. A creamy character then emerges with notes of porridge and salted butter.

On the palate, this Folle Blanche blend delights. Light and fruity, creamy and sweet, it achieves both ampleness and delicacy– no small feat. It then evolves into earthy flavors, with spicy additions from cinnamon and a touch of licorice. On the mid-palate, the aromatic exoticism is rediscovered with flavors of passionfruit and pineapple. Black fruits like blackcurrant and verbena then join to reinforce the sweetness.
