Domaine de Joy VSOP 5 Year Old Bas Armagnac (500ml)
The brainchild of Swiss couple, Paul and Marguerite Gessler, Domaine de Joy is a luxury French brand specializing in high-quality drinks. The company is particularly well-known for its exceptional range of flavoured liqueurs, however, they also bottle spirits, including Cognac, Armagnac and Calvados. Distilled from Bacco and Ugni blanc, matured in Limousin oak, then finished in older Gascon casks for maximum fruit-oak balance, at just five years old, Joy's VSOP is described as "already well poised". 40.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Deep amber in the glass, the sweet aromas suggest honey, maple, vanilla and oak. The remarkably light, silky palate shows oak, vanilla and a hint of cocoa powder. Most of the flavor is on the mouthwatering, exceedingly long finish, echoing with baking spice and vanilla. 93 points - wineenthusiast.com
