Product Description
A Trifle Delightful is a bespoke blended cognac created exclusively for the Society by the prestigious cognac house, Louis Royer. Inspired by our members, our head of whisky creation, Euan Campbell asked the master blender at Louis Royer to develop a cognac made specifically for whisky lovers. With the end results described by the Tasting Panel as “a cascade of rich liquid sunset poured from the bottle”, we’re sure you’re going to agree that master blender Laurent Robin has certainly hit the mark!
Tasting Notes
A cascade of rich liquid sunset poured from the bottle and clung to the glass with viscous tears of joy. The nose was the very essence of jubilation, a unity of fruit, flowers and boozy things. Apple crumble with a sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger welcomed the viscidity of orange skin and truffle oil with a tart tang of physalis. Musk perfume created a depth that underpinned lavender, jasmine tea and clary sage with a layer of soft putty. Sherry trifle brought along a wonderfully heady dimension that swung towards marmalade on the malty sweetness of warm rye bread. Soft leather gloves handled fresh cherry tomatoes and eucalyptus leaves while the finish hugged the soul with a warming massage of pickled ginger and a fresh caress from grapefruit pith and soft tannins.
