1) Whiskynotes by Ruben Luyten
Also Petite and Grande Champagne. The youngest component is 40 years of age, while the oldest eau-de-vie dates back to 1922! Bottled at 42%.In their range of cognacs, this is where the tropical fruitiness really starts to shine, mainly tangerine. Some apricot jam, mint and beeswax. Cinnamon too. On the palate, quite some spicy, woody notes at first, with cinnamon and ginger, but then a beautiful burst of mellow tropical fruits, honey and vanilla cake. Complex and very tasty, great maternative, probably the best price/quality ratio of them all.

Vallein-Tercinier 'Hors-d'Age' (42%, OB, cognac, +/-2013) Five stars
This one is a blend of Petite and Grande Champagne, the younger being 40 years old! Should be good. Colour: dark amber. Nose: we're in old whiskies territories again. THIS is a malternative house. Between a 1966 Bowmore and a 1972 Caperdonich, only less expensive. Perfect tropical fruits, beehivy tones, damp earth, tangerines, camphor, eucalyptus... Everything is perfect in this nose. Mouth: a notch less impressive than on the nose, mainly because of the tannins that are flying here and there (maybe a little too much cinnamon) but other than that, it's perfect. Ripe red apples, butter pears, peaches (of course), a little rosewater, some 'nervous honey' (say white heather) and then some spicy gingerbread. This, at 46% vol.! Finish: good length (hurray), spicier. Oranges, cinnamon and white pepper. An earthy touch in the aftertaste. Comments: I had never heard of Vallein-Tercinier before September and it's a Swiss friend who drew my attention towards them. SGP:561 - around 90 points.
