Baron Otard VSOP
(0.7l, 40%)
The Otard family traces its origins back to the middle of the 9th century to a Norwegian Viking named Ottar.
Otard Cognac house, also known as Chateau de Cognac, was founded in 1795. This little Chateau was also the birthplace of King Francois 1 of France.
The royal Chateau of Cognac was bought by Baron Otard in 1795 for its unique ageing conditions. Situated on the same level as the river Charente, the relative humidity reaches 90%. The walls are 3 meters thick enabling the temperature to remain constant at 15°C throughout the year.
The eaux-de-vie used for this blend come from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois. Age is unclear, but based on its flavour profile at least an average of 8 years old.

Ron,
Great fruit aromas like light nectarine on the nose. Taste adds tobacco and oak. Complex but not as balanced or as smooth as the Louis Royer XO that was also in the tasting kit.
Jeff,
Great sweet oak flavor with hints of citrus

Sean,
Tre bon!
ISABEL,
