Pintail Fine Old French Brandy 1993, 27 Year Old.

The Pintail brand was originally established by Matthew Gloag and Sons in the 1930's for bottling their dry sherries. After the trademark was allowed to lapse it was picked up by Keith Bonnington (Keeper of the Quaich and owner of The Whisky Cellars Independent Bottlers) to create a range of spirits and wines. With a focus on unusual bottlings, and whiskies finished in rare (and often sweet) wine casks, the Pintail range is built around a focus on extremely limited and desirable bottlings. 

"Purveyors of Precious Wines & Spirits" is the tagline, with a focus on "precious"!

 We are well informed that this cask bottling was of a Grande Champagne Cognac, that simply spent too long outside the Cognac region, and hence has been labelled as a Fine Old French Brandy.  Lovers of the smooth & fruity character of old Brandy's will find this release particularly appealing. The fruits have evolved into a combination of both fresh grapey notes and into baked apple and stone fruits. Rich, sweet, juicy and soft. 

700ml. 47.5% ABV.
