Asbach Spezial 15 yr Brandy 750ml
Asbach Spezial-Brand 15 Year Old Weinbrand Brandy (750ml)
The sweet spot of the Asbach range. The 8 Year has youthful energy and spice; the 21 Year offers deep, contemplative luxury. The 15 Year Spezial-Brand is where everything comes together — particularly carefully selected distillates from the best vineyards, matured for at least 15 years in Limousin oak, striking a perfect balance between elegant style and noble harmony, with the rich aromas and characteristic power of truly old distillates.
The nose is led by jasmine, supported by citrus, vanilla, and a fresh hint of green apple — unmistakably floral and inviting. The palate is well-rounded, with spice at the center and sweet vanilla surrounding it. The finish is very long and exceptionally mild, with noble maturity.
F. Paul Pacult of Kindred Spirits awarded it 4 Stars and Highly Recommended and Tastings.com scored it 92 points. For the price, nothing in the Cognac world touches it at this age. Sip it neat — it needs nothing else.
