Tasting at Salesforce, courtesy of Sergey, bottle #309/384, batch 1, 15.5% ABV, rye 8 months brandy 12 months, Dec 2018
Black colour, small head. Aroma of dark chocolate, cacao, spirit, deep. Full bodied, but with so much alcohol it's not thick; dark chocolate flavour, rye, notes of vanilla and hints of cinnamon.
Very good.

500ml (thx, Brian S. for the bottle and Tom B. for picking up and keeping it for all that long time during the pandemic) @ SalesForce. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: bourbon, rye spice, vanilla, and some slight roasted malt. Taste: along the same lines, lots of vanilla and bourbon. Overall: good one.

Poured from 500mL bottle (Dec 2018; batch 1; bottle # 309/384). Black with dissipating beige head, touch of sediment. Very similar to the Pugachev Royale with mild vanilla. Brandy dominant, a bit of rye, mild vanilla. Quite nice.
