Under the regulations of the semi-governmental\/semi-private cognac regulatory body, the Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac (BNIC), this spirit cannot carry a 36 year age statement on the label. However, we can confidently state the cask both looks and tastes very old. We also trust our supplier. Perhaps equally relevant, depending on the extent to which you respect wood, it does have “1989” written on the outside of the cask.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many of the highest-quality Bons Bois cognacs, this spirit is exceptionally floral. On the nose, it has notes of jasmine, wintergreen, birch sap, and vanilla with fall honey, fresh ground cocoa beans, and molasses grounding the brighter elements. The cocoa element becomes both more round and more prominent as it rests in the glass. On the palate, it has clove, the same honey elements, more than a touch of rancio, wood varnish, and a very prominent Mirabelle plum. Its tempo—the term we use for the intensity of experience from beginning to end—is brash but not overly aggressive from the initial sip through the finish which lingers with fresh baked white bread, stonefruit, and rancio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Production: 160 bottles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raising Glasses","offers":[{"title":"700ml","offer_id":50538977689763,"sku":"ParheliaCask8","price":234.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/files\/ParheliaCask8.jpg?v=1793386244","url":"https:\/\/cellar.com\/products\/parhelia-cask-8-domaine-la-prenellerie-lot-89-cognac-bons-bois-700ml","provider":"Cellar.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
