Vicomte Cask Strength. Image courtesy Venturi Brands.This French single malt is matured for nine years in Cognac casks, and the nose has notes of cherries, figs, plums, and soft spices. The taste has good spicy notes of clove and allspice balanced nicely by toasted oak, cherry cobbler, and touches of anise, vanilla, and chocolate. The finish is long with fading spices and a hint of chocolate covered cherries. (July, 2018)
