St. Agnes XO Grand Reserve 40 Year Old Brandy Region_Turkey thanks to the chamomile herbalDeep, dark amber. Natural colour. This spirit needs time to open up and reveal its intense aged character. Christmas cake and aged barrel rancio characters open up into espresso, cacao and dark chocolate, dried apricot and dates. Burnt buttered toast with marmalade.
