TASTING NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beginning
\n<\/strong>Golden mahogany<\/p>\n

Middle<\/strong>
\nAromas like candied orange and coconut from the Mizunara, followed by delicate tropical fruits, chocolate, honey, exotic flowers and jasmine. Intense notes of sandalwood, dried fruits, cinnamon and blond tobacco.<\/p>\n

End<\/strong>
\nSmooth and mellow with vanilla, roasted cocoa and peppery aromas on the palate, deliver great complexity. A mouthfeel with a long-lasting finish of soft tannins and exotic Sweetness.<\/p>\n

INSPIRED DESIGN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The understated elegance of the Mizunara 2023 Blend bottle allows the golden mahogany of the liquid to shine through, providing a canvas for the legendary Japanese Mizunara oak tree.<\/p>\n

The tree is screen printed in gold on both the bottle and the case, along with the marque of the 2023 Edition. At the neck of the bottle, we find the signatures of the two Master Blenders who created this unique Edition. The numbers \u20181 of 500\u2019 indicate the scarcity of this special blend.<\/p>\n

A BLEND FOR THE AGES<\/strong><\/p>\n

This unique cognac, made from a blend of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Borderies, is traditionally aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years. It is then moved to new Mizunara barrels for the remaining few years, revealing exotic aromas of an exceptionally harmonious and aromatic cognac.<\/p>\n
