With Belle de Brillet, Magloire Calvados VSOP, I get pear with apple, made savoury from the salty manzanilla, a touch of vanilla, nothing from the orgeat. A little sweet for an aperitif. There's something outstanding nearby. To repeat.
I have three cognac+suze in my list. This one (L'Heritage), the Charente White Negroni (which I see you have already tried and liked). The third is the Vieille Place... (halve the sugar)
The ability to filter on base alcohol and Hall of Fame has since been added the the Cocktail Finder, as part of a major increase in functionality in 2025.
Keep the empties. Decant your litre into them (fill well). Store in a cool dark place.
(I'd also decant the last 250ml into a smaller container, to minimise the surface area exposed to the oxidising air)
