Very elegant and luxurious. As a bolder alternative, we think Rittenhouse Rye works very nicely as a substitute for the Armagnac...one might even add a further dash of bitters.
Very good, a very interesting way to show up the black walnut bitters ( they are a recent acquisition of mine and I'm in ove with them). Made it with Torres 20 Hors d'Age brandy. Catalan brandies have a nice vanilla touch
