Ice Cognac from Drinks21.

Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas in my families house without a bottle of cream liqueur for the ladies and Cognac for the men – this tradition has been going on for over ten years!

This Christmas I will have something a little bit different to present, still cognac, but this is no ordinary cognac – this is Ice Cognac by ABK6.

A Cognac made to go with ice – perfect. This unique tasting sensation has been created and blended to be taken ‘on the rocks’, with the aromas coming into their own in the presence of ice and water.

Ice Cognac is made in France on a family estate which specialise in wines and Cognacs. This drink has given an ‘upgrade’ to the original Cognac and modernised dark spirit drinkers, a much needed modernisation!

On the subject of modern, I adore the bottle! This is one of those bottles you will keep forever and burn candles in. It is super modern, and elegant with high shoulders and iridescent shimmer. Truly impressive and expensive looking, this is the gift you will not be shy about bringing to a Christmas party.

With regards to taste, you will have to try it! The vanilla and fruity sensation is not too strong, but perfectly present and then changing to the fresh aroma of lemon sorbet and mint. This is simply a gorgeous drink that I believe to be one of the most superb tasting drinks I have sampled. Abk6 sure know how to brew the perfect Cognac!

Abk6 has won 26 medals along with the ‘Excellence in Craftsmanship’ trophy at the International Spirit Challenge in London 2010.
