Mauxion Lot 45 Bons Bois Cognac has a very refined and vibrant aroma. It offers fresh notes of lime, sour plums, and passion fruits, along with white blossoms, jasmine tea, and ginger. There are also darker scents like moss, fallen autumn leaves, dark honey, and hints of vanilla.
On the palate, it has excellent mintiness, accompanied by flavors of peach, tangerines, plums, honey, and raisins. Spicy notes, such as cinnamon and clove, are present, as well as hints of cigar boxes, but it never becomes tannic or overtly woody. There are also some floral touches, and the finish features bergamot and cedar.
The finish is quite long, developing a light bitter edge, but it remains fresh and citrusy, with mint, licorice, and a touch of gentian.
