Yesterday I opened Sarrazin Hors d'Age. It's a fins bois, but really good. At least 30 years old, has a light color, little wood, spicey, vanilla-tones and candied fruits. Very elegant cognac.

Thanks Ton. But I think they are currently out of stock.

Wow. That sounds like a wonderful cognac. It's on my shopping list whenever I go over the pond again.

Le Reviseur XO

A decent cognac. Fruity, with hint of caramel. Would've been super if they didn't have to double their price.

Yes, nice cognac. Did you know this is made by ABK6 on their estate in Barret?

Under new ownership. That explains the price change. So are they filled with the same juice as Abk6 xo? Abk6 cognacs are not very old.

No, not new ownership. Le Reviseur is a brand-name of ABK6 and has always been. So it is not an old brand, because ABK6 started in 2005.
Le Reviseur is produced on the Barret estate (Le Maine Drilhon) and is petite champagne.
ABK6 is produced on the Claix estate (Chez Maillard). Both Le Reviseur and ABK6 are single estate cognacs. I am not sure whether ABK6 is petite champagne or maybe fins bois. I think the latter.

Gisteren de Serplet Hors d'Age opengemaakt.
Jammer dat hij gestopt is met produceren, want hij is fantastisch.

97% uit 1970

misschien vreemd, maar die 1% en 2% geven toch een extra toets.
