This is a ‘subtle and unique blend of Meukow cognac and natural vanilla flavors.’ On first sip, it shows superb vanilla overlaying, but not dominating, the cognac complexities. Another taste reveals more of the fine cognac as the vanilla fades into the background. The great interplay of the vanilla and premium cognac makes this the clear winner when comparing the three products.
