Cognac, France - 17% abv
 
A golden straw hue, offering enticing aromas of honeyed apricot, ripe pear, and a touch of orange blossom. The palate is lusciously smooth, marrying notes of candied citrus and white peach with a refreshing lift of acidity, leading to an elegant, silky finish with just a whisper of vanilla.

Lovely with blue cheese like Roquefort, or for a sweeter match, try it with tarte Tatin or a simple almond cake.
