”Leather Jacket”
After flying to the remote reaches of France, and then stalking Vincent from L’Encantada for a year and a half to do a live barrel pick for us in NY, our L’Encantada Mouracs bottle is finally here. This is by far one of the most special releases we’ve ever had the privilege of sharing with you. The dedication, craftsmanship, and love that has gone into this bottle from the Domaine, from Vincent and the folks at L’Encantada, and from Nic and the PM Spirits crew is evident in every sip of this beautiful spirit!
The nose is incredibly deep with layer after layer of warm wood, tart cherries, cocoa, tobacco, exotic spices, and huge notes of leather. That’s why we dubbed this barrel “Leather Jacket!”
The palate is unmistakably very mature. 40+ years in oak takes away all the spirit burn and replaces it with a warmth that you cannot replicate without decades in the cellar. But the flavors have not faded! This is a beast! Super woody, punchy, fruity, and spicy, it’s both an Armagnac and bourbon-drinkers dream.
This is a bottle to pour in a large snifter and savor slowly. It will continue to open up over the course of an hour and you’ll be able to discover more and more flavors. The finish is so delicate and elegant it’s very hard to describe but you’ll understand after your first glass! Those flavors of leather and wood, stone fruits and berries, tobacco and spice all wrap together wonderfully into a coherent warm and delightful ending. Don’t miss out on this one, it’s incredibly special.
