Review by Vicomte

Nose

Distinct fruit expressions of orange, apricot, and banana, burnt sugar and caramel, honey, vanilla and a hint of spice.

Palate

Candied apple, fresh citrus, figs, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, chocolate and crème brûlée give way to liquorish and orange zest.

Finish

Mild with toasted wood, spiced cider, and creme brulee.

Note

Vicomte (pronounced: vee-cont), a designation of French nobility, has endured throughout the centuries and has persevered into the modern day French ethos.

It was first used to distinguish those who were granted power and responsibility over a region by the King, however the political associations were replaced by heredity and general membership of the French aristocracy.

Scientists, Philosophers, Lawyers, Military Officers, Priests and Political Leaders are but a few of the professions that have been held by those that have been bestowed with the title of Vicomte. The essence of the sophistication and prowess exemplified by French noblemen that have held the title of Vicomte has been infused into this premium French Whisky. It is our pleasure to present Vicomte French Whisky as a delectable extension of the tradition of elegance, luxury and grace irrevocably and eternally tethered to French nobility and aristocracy.

As you sip and savor the refined flavors radiating through your senses, know that you have just elevated your status to the title of Vicomte.
