Unusual ageing cycle in wood, Lengthy & very fruity

Tasting Notes: a perfectly delicious Grande Champagne Cognac, vivacious aromas of spring flowers, lilac, jasmine. Then some notes of ripe fruit, banana, melon; dried fruit, raisins, walnut. A long finish with some spicy notes coming through, anise, caraway. Perfect for a party with your friends to go with some exotic and spicy cooking, Provençale, Italian, Chinese, Indian and Mexican cooking.

Serving suggestions: Twelve years of ageing produce a Folle Blanche which is beginning to display a fine maturity. Serve at room temperature with a fruity dessert or light meringue, or enjoy it on its own: an unashamedly elegant experience. Profile:An explosion of fresh fruit. Tasting notes: A consistent gold colour and a nose imbued with the natural freshness of fruits (orange, lemon, wild apple) and flowers.

Despite its long ageing, this minimum 30-month blend is not overtly sweet or oaky; it has a drier style, which is full of spice and character from its highland terroir. Cooked agave is present with a fine mixture of dried fruits, almonds and roasted coffee. There is a subtle and masked fudginess reminiscent of dark cocoa that emerges from the depth in its long and slightly dry finish.

Aged in bourbon, sherry and American White Oak new casks, "Cosmo" blended malt whisky is named after a mountain in the Japan Central Alps close to the Mars Whisky Distillery.

Whilst the folks at Hunter Laing are specialists in blended and single malt scotch whiskies, over the years they have been fortunate enough to acquire stocks of aged rums, from places such as Guyana and Jamaica and are pleased now to offer some of these to customers on the basis, of course, that they meet the same exacting quality standards required for their bottlings of whisky. In the 17th and 18th centuries, islanders referred to their locally made distillates as Kill Devil. Whilst today many of the old superstitions have gone, the Caribbean is still the source of many exotic rums. The Kill Devil series showcases the quality and diversity of rum from the Caribbean and further afield – single casks are specially selected for shipment to Scotland, to be carefully and traditionally bottled by hand. The single cask bottlings are presented in gift tubes and the rums are bottled at 46% or at natural cask strength – also referred to as navy strength in the rum world – not chill-filtered and without colouring.
