1995 Domaine de Maouhum 23 Year Old for K&L, 46%

Ryan's Notes

 

1995 Domaine de Maouhum 23 Year Old for K&L, 46%

 

 

Domaine de Maouhum is a small house located in the Bas-Armagnac region. This particular armagnac is a 1995 vintage that was selected by K&L and bottled at 46%.

Nose:  There is fresh fruits, mainly berries and cherries. A little must and funk. Cedar. 

Taste:  This is immediately juicy, with touches of honey over a spread of syrupy fruits - raspberries, cherries, apples, orange. Moving forward there is some deeper notes of milk chocolate and caramel.

Finish: It finishes on gently drying oak.  With some layers of aromatic bitters, and lingering fruit sweetness.

Overall:  This is a well-integrated and utterly fruity armagnac.  Totally satisfying.   This was available for $85. Gone now, but perhaps worth keeping an eye peeled for a future release from this house.
