Vallein Tercinier Cognac 46° X.O. Small Batch Review
More than any Cognac, this bottle looks ideally placed to attract whiskey drinkers. Arriving at 46 percent ABV, the small-batch blend contains a range of distillates aged between 15 and 25 years. Spirits geeks will also be pleased to learn that it's bottled without chill filtration. The profile, however, is distinctly Cognac: fruity, floral, and remarkably powerful, the spirit is also aided by its higher ABV content.
