Cognac Laurichesse 19.75 / 19.76 (Malternative Belgium)
Malternative Belgium just released two cognacs from Laurichesse, a house they more or less discovered back in 2022. This is a royal diptych, in a way, featuring a lioness and a lion on the labels, facing each other. These are not accidental symbols: they also appear in the official coat of arms of Laurichesse.We've had 19.75 and 19.76 from this house before and they were among the best cognacs we've had. High hopes for this duo.

Pineau des Charentes (Malternative Belgium / C Dully)
Pineau des Charentes is a blend of grape must with grape distillate – typically Cognac eau-de-vie. The cognac part prevents further fermentation and must be between 60% and 72%. This blend is then aged in casks for a number of years.After 5 years in barrel it can be called Vieux Pineau and after 10 years it becomes Très Vieux Pineau. However in this session we'll try a few that far exceed these categories.A big part of this session will consist of Malternative Belgium releases. Apart from their cognac releases they've already bottled an impressive series of Pineau. Somehow we never found the time to publish the reviews.

Cognac Delamain 1985 (Malternative Belgium)
From our friends in Hasselt comes this new Delamain cognac called 'Les Tarins Verts'. They're developing a very interesting series of expressions from this house, exquisitely initiated at their Delamain dinner. Today Malternative Belgium presents a new release, a 1985 Vintage no less.
