The name of the Distillers can't be disclosed, but it is known that this one was transferred to demijohns only in 2018, at the ripe age of 90. The records are impeccable. Mind you, ninety years! Quatre-vingt-dix! Or nonante, as our friends say in Belgium. By the way, the price is 500€. A famous brand in Speyside would probably sell something similar for £150,000, but granted, it would come with a ton of rosewood, crystal and PR. Colour: red amber. Nose: it's probably the fruitiest this far, with several kinds of raisins at first (Corinth, sultana, muscat..) then various honeys and old sweet wines. Add cigars, cedarwood, old leather, old peppermint liqueur (a touch), plus various mentholy herbs, dill, wormwood, mint thyme, costmary… Between us, this freshness is just flabbergasting. Mouth: same feeling, and even something that would remind us of G&M's oldest malt whiskies, as if this had been kept in American oak sherry casks (which it couldn't be). Wonderful, classic dried fruits, Christmas cake (may we mention Christmas cake on Christmas Day?) and assorted raisins. Figs again, dried apricots, dried pineapple, dried bananas, and only a tiny touch of beef bouillon. Dried fruits keep running this spectacular show. Finish: pretty long, with the usual 'dry' suspects chiming in, such as chocolate, coffee, tobacco, walnuts, cinnamon… Comments: in the glass and in my modest opinion, these fabulous old brandies cannot quite fetch the super-high scores that, say their 40/50 years old counterparts could sometimes reach when they're incredibly perfect (say 92/95). But this 1928 remains extremely impressive, nonetheless.
SGP:551 - 91 points.

Nose: keeps the middle between different styles. There’s a deep fruitiness (stewed stone fruits, overripe pineapple) but also a rounder hints of caramel toffee and candied ginger. Very fresh mint leaves and herbal tea at the top. Light tobacco too, but the rancio is not overpowering.
Mouth: similar thoughts. Generous fruity notes (always stewed, ripe and candied fruits) leading up to toffee and caramelized notes. Orange notes. A lightly toasted element. Tobacco leaves are more prominent now, as well as light hints of cedar. The roundness and gourmand character means there’s never oaky dryness to be found though, even after 90 years. Hints of acacia honey and mint towards the end.
Finish: not too long, but the combination of minty freshness and caramel sweetness is quite perfect.
Above all this is a rich and highly drinkable cognac. I’m guessing this was a rather rustic style but time polished it. The low strength, the sweetness and the absence of wood make this a very balanced and lively oldie. The price is quite fair too. Available from Malternative Belgium and Passion for Whisky.
