This Cognac is aged in new and old French Limousin oak barrels of 350-liters. The blend is a selection of the best batches from ABK6’s Petite Champagne, Grande Champagne and Fins Bois estates married with natural honey from chestnut trees. To create ABK6 HONEY, Cellar Master Christian Guérin has blended during the ageing process a subtle and Rened Cognac with a special honey with intense and aromatic flavours. For its unique and typical taste, he selected one single origin honey produced in one area among Charentes woods.
