Overall: Heaven Hill deliciousness finished in Armagnac Casks! This is right up my alley. So much going on with this pour and I'm all about going back through and dissecting all my notes each sip. A truly remarkable bottle design can only get better with some incredible bourbon on the inside. Typical proof for Armagnac is around 96 so I fully understand and respect the choice to keep this where it's at. A soothing and smooth, yes smooth, coating and finish has me reaching for another sip more frequently. Like I mentioned, theres quite a bit going on here so it's best to just embrace it while sitting back. The cocoa is my favorite takeaway with this pour as it bounces from dark to milk back to dark.


A huge thank you to World Whiskey Society for getting this bottle to me and giving me the opportunity to give my honest review.
