Hey guys! How's it going?🙂. . Today I'm feeling like having some cognac 🙂. But not just any cognac. This is a very special, limited edition cognac produced by Sophie and Max from @cognacexpert. And it's an awesome one! 😉. . The vision shared by Cognac Expert founders Sophie & Max is a longstanding one. Giving familial Cognac producers the exposure they deserve has been their business philosophy since it all began. Located at their family estate, Logis de Beaulieu, in the glorious Charentais countryside, Sophie and Max work hard to endorse smaller brands and keep things as local as possible. In doing so, they are helping to pave a future for the heritage of Cognac culture. . The Sophie & Max Sélection series is the result of turning passion into product. The initial Sélection N° 1, which was an X.O. Cognac, was an exclusive line bottled by their neighbor and local producer Jacques Petit. The Limited Edition of only 150 bottles sold out immediately. . Sophie & Max Sélection N° 2 EXTRA is a mature Cognac that has been aged in oak barrels for 30 years and longer. The resulting aromatic subtleties are best enjoyed when the Cognac is at room temperature. Drink it neat, in a tumbler or tulip glass. If you are interested in food pairing, try this dry and pure Cognac with chilled oysters and other seafood dishes. It also goes incredibly well with dark chocolate–a dark mousse au chocolat coupled with Sélection N° 2 is the ultimate taste sensation to top off a special dinner. After tasting it neat, I paired it a robusto cigar 😉. . Here is my review :. . Nose: Honey sweet off the bat and fruity notes of raw cocoa and saffron. It's slightly subtle, despite its age, but you can really feel the grapes in the glass. . Palate: An elegant and gentle taste, that is simultaneously well rounded with a touch of spice. Notes of honey, cloves and pears, wood and saffron. It's very complex. . Finish: Sweet and dry and slightly smoky. . This is a very good cognac guys, if you can get it, it's highly recommended 👌🏻🥃. I will be getting a full bottle soon 😉. . Cheers guys and have a good week ahead 🙂🥃. . #cognac #sophiemaxselection #handcrafted #cognaclover #cognaclife #france (at Cluj-Napoca) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PV-8hHw_3/?igshid=3qdi71lw4nxk
