Tasting Camus Celebration Cognac

By Miguel in Tasting , Camus

“Nose is quite simple and plan but overall it is a decent cognac ”

Camus Celebration
Since 1863, four generations of the Camus Family have dedicated their efforts towards the production of fine Cognac.

Composed of the finest and most rare Brandies produced in the delimited area of Cognac as specified in the decree of 1909, Celebration represents the highest criterion of quality.
This precious bottle, of which we guarantee the outstanding quality, marks the celebration of the centenary of our firm.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (83): average. lemon zest, citrus, grapes, spices. Light nose

Palate (87): powerful, oily. honey, wood, lemon zest, citrus, grapes, cinnamon.

Finish (86): short. honey, lemon.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Camus Celebration with 85 points over 100.

Bonjour mon amour: Tasting Camus, Courvoisier, Hine, Principe and Duque de Alba

By Miguel in Tasting , Featured , Courvoisier , Hennessy , Camus

WTF! Cognac?! In a whisky blog?! Yeah. I have tasted just a few cognacs and really I didn’t enjoyed the experience, so I have decided that it is time to taste a few more of them. Perhaps I am lucky and find a new passion to write about. With even more luck I taste a nice cognac.

No, seriously. I have tasted Courvoisier and I am really not fond of it at all. Perhaps it is the Chivas Regal of Scotch whisky. It is present everywhere, everyone knows about it, it has deluxe written in every possible spelling in the label and it is a poor dram.

I have just introduced my hand in the “other beverages” box and have take out seven bottles: five cognacs and two spanish brandies.

Camus Josephine Cognac: Delicious!

By Miguel in Tasting , Camus

“Most interesting taste on this Camus Cognac. Why can I only find the miniature?”

Camus Josephine Cognac
A beautifully-presented half-bottle of Camus Josephine - a cognac designed by this famous producer specifically to appeal to feminine tastes.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (86): more than average. nuts, citrus, lemon zest, grapes. Smells more like a Jerez brandy than a cognac. And that's a good thing for me.

Palate (88): powerful. nuts, lemon, citrus, spices, pepper, cinnamon, floral. Interesting.

Finish (85): average. honey, nuts.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Camus Josephine Cognac with 86 points over 100.
