250mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Nose has plenty of cognac-like oxidation, moderate roast, oak, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is less prominent on the oxidative notes and stronger on the cognac, with moderate roast, oak, and booze. Soft malts underneath that are nicely harnessed by the cognac. Very good.
