Review overview

Gorgeous reddish amber. Floral perfume with growing complexity. Full bodied and well balanced, just a little sweet, hints of grape and oak, wonderful with chocolate. Complexity lingers on for a nice finish.

This is a 1922 Grande Champagne blended with 1924 to get the percentage to 40%. As all cognacs in Grosperrin's "Treasor" series it is very good. This cognac has a deep dark cognac, and it has a beautiful hang in the glass with distinct tears. At first it is a bit shy on the nose, you need to give...

Jean Fillioux is one of my favorite producers, and No 1 is one of their best products. The bottle I use for this review was bottled in 2014, so I guess the current blend is somewhat younger.

Rich mahogany with golden highlights. Floral perfume sweet, smokey. Spicy, sweet, warm, red fruit.

This is a blend of 50 year old Grande Champagne. I have tasted it many times before, and for a long time this was one of the absolute best cognac deals in Norway. Now the price has increased, so it is not such a good buy anymore. This cognac has a quite dark golden color and is a bit reserved on...
