Chateau de Ravignan 28 Year 1984 44%

Nose: Figs, plums, sugar cookies, cashews, really nice subtle floral layer (rose hip, violet) and perfume, olive, pickled pepper, tomato vine.

Palate: All spice and nutmeg, combo of wood tannin and intense apple vinegar notes, pink peppercorn; much better on a big sip

Rating: 6 / 10 – what a beast. The nose is bonkers lovely and on its own I would gladly own a bottle just to enjoy the bouquet, but once you sip, KAPOW, like 1950s batman, it kicks your ass. In a really good way.

Vallein Tercinier Fins Bois 28 Year Lot 90 47.8% for Maltbarn /Globe Core

Nose: Lemon dusting spray, mineral, grapefruit peel. Apricot. This is fun. It’s light, nuanced and fruity without that welch’s grape juice vibe that sometimes afflicts cognacs.

Palate: Copper penny, touch of pine sap, camphor. some milder sweetener, maybe monk fruit or a very light honey?

Rating: 6 / 10 – the minerality grew on me as I enjoyed it more. This is a lovely and nuanced yet delicate pour. Reminds me of some older lowland or clynelish.

Palate: Very quiet palate, lightly fruity, nuts, muted, butter, white tea, stevia

Rating: ? (Shane) 5 (Ryan) / 10 – not rating it – too quiet to form much of an opinion. A nice simple bourbon casked spirit. Ryan shrugged his shoulders and gave it a 5.
