I paired this brandy with roasted nuts, which helped show its character. I noticed some dried fruit, but mostly the alcohol sat on top of the flavour. It may suit a different palate, but it wasn't for me.

Napoleon was easy to test in a basic mixed drink. The dried fruit was pleasant, but it felt sharper than expected. Fine for a casual serve, less convincing on its own.
warm - smooth - oakyThis brandy smelled more expressive than I expected. The warming finish worked well, especially after dinner; still, the fruit note felt muted. Good enough to revisit, especially with the right serve.
