a massive step-up from the classic; made with VSOP cognac and the barest sweetness

Highest-quality cognac aged with spices and fruit. Exceptionally elegant

Sweet coffee, vanilla bean

Intense, juicy blackcurrant, exotic and fragrant

Balanced and bright, just like you had in Amalfi

Generous and complex, with restrained sweetness

Rich and silky, with loads of cocoa and vanilla, and just enough bitterness to balance

The real stuff

Rich espresso, smooth rum notes
