Cognac Audry Exception


The scorching temperatures outside made me wonder, if I should begin the tasting of my recent delivery of cognac. Around 10 pm, when the heat became a bit more bearable, I opened one of the samples - Cognac Audry Exception.

 I have read that this cognac sent its little producer up among the well renowned brands in a Time article. As of today, the producer still uses the short article, but mainly the text: “But the best Cognac you have never heard of is A. Edmund Audry...” to his advantage. 
Cognac Audry Exception
Truth is, that Cognac Audry Exception really is a thing of beauty. It is produced by blending of eau de vie from two regions – Grande a Petites Champagne, in 80 to 20 ratio, where the youngest components are 30 to 35 years old and the oldest ones come from 1928, or even 1922(!). This cognac is slightly more alcoholic (43 %).

 Tasting notes: 

 Colour: darker 
Aroma: very rich, oaky smell 
Taste: strong, aromatic, explosion of taste, we perceive almonds, marzipan  
Finish: very distinctive, spicy and pleasantly lingering  

 Recommendation 

 If you want to make someone very happy, get them some Audry Exception for a present. I personally am a non-smoker, but I have a suspicion it night be particularly pleasing for cigar lovers. The price is a bit high (250 Euro and up), but the experience is worth it.
