Jean-Luc Pasquet ‘Lot 62’ (41.9%, La Maison du Whisky, Through The Grapevine, Cognac, Petite Champagne, 2019) Four stars and a half
We’ve had a few official Pasquet lately and enjoyed them all, especially a magnificent ‘Très Vieille Réserve’ (WF 91), but this one’s just been independently bottled by LMDW. Colour: amber. Nose: mangos, oranges and peaches, what more would you want from a 1962 Cognac? Agreed, a lot of smaller, subtler notes, but the base here is first class. And so, we’re also finding honeydew, honeysuckle, wisteria, old Sauternes, rose petals, touches of mint and camphor, a little patchouli (peace and love!), ylang-ylang… What a nose! Mouth: it’s got a few green tannins at first – remember it’s almost 60 – but that’s nothing. Some wonderful touches of pear peels, very fresh walnuts, hints of gritty calvados, damsons, then rather peaches again, with a little cocoa and roasted chestnuts. It’s rather less emphatically fruity on the palate, but that was to be expected, I would say. Finish: medium, with touches of Turkish delights and the usual cinnamon. White pepper and strong Assam tea in the aftertaste. Comments: pst, 235 euros. Not 100% sure about the A.B.V. though, but it’s ‘naturally low’. Nose 91, palate more like 87, so…
