Swell de Spirits – Flashback Series n°13 – Wine brandy – Cognac Fins Bois 1991 – Ex-Caroni cask – 53.5%
Discover a rare gem from Swell de Spirits , an independent French bottler based in Pessac, founded in 2021 by Michael Barbaria and Kelly. Their mission: to reveal the soul of spirits from around the world through limited editions of carefully selected rum, whisky, cognac and Armagnac.
This Flashback Series No. 13 immerses us in the world of cognac with a wine brandy distilled in 1991 in the prestigious Fins Bois region. A unique expression, enhanced by a final 16-month aging in Caroni rum casks , a famous Trinidad distillery that no longer exists. This bold blend brings power, intensity and complexity to this already mature Cognac, offering an exceptional tasting experience.
Bottled at 53.5% cask strength , this ultra-confidential vintage only exists in 160 copies worldwide .
A deep and vibrant nose, a palate rich in spices, dried fruits, and notes of molasses, for a long and intense finish. A blend of Charente elegance and the tropical fire of Caroni.
"As if darkness had met light: a cognac with the strength of a Caroni, for an uncompromising sensory journey."
