ABK6 Honey is elegant and subtle, expressing flowery tones derived from honey and Cognac at the same time: jasmine, violets, honeysuckle and rose petals. Then come the cheery and delicates sensations of spices and candied oranges.
The sents mingle with woody vanilla and toffee.
This is a Single Estate Cognac, ABK6 is booth the raisin producer and the Cognac maker. The terroir of ABK6 is a chalky hilltop at 154m of altitude. For this spirit 100% Ugni-blanc grapes are used. The vinification took place in thermoregulated vats. The distillation was a double distillation in small Charentals pot-stills. 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.
