Pale, slight haze. Nice bugs on the nose, and a deep armangac aroma. On the palate, it's relatively soft, with a light barrel note, and the armangac comes in with a lot of depth. A little bit of horseblanket in the wildness, wheat, lemon. Very good.

750mL bottle, pours a mostly clear golden with a tiny white head. Aroma reveals pungent, lush armagnac barrels, some leather, hay, and a touch of stone fruits. Flavour has a nice expression of bugs, lush armagnac barrels that don’t hit harshly at all, subtle stone fruit and baking spices, finishing oaky and lightly tannic. Complex and integrated, as usual from BE. Not as complex in the yeast expression or funk as their blended offerings, but this showcases the armagnac really nicely.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2022 vintage). Chill hazed gold with minimal white head. Nice balance, good use of the Armagnac barrels, the leathery tobacco notes linger after the finish. Quite nice.

750mL bottle. Pours clear gold with a minimal white head. Dusty and rustic nose, gentle tartness with some woody barrels. Flavour has a gentle tartness, leather, dry mustiness; dusty with an excellent armagnac character. This is great.
