This is a 9 year old whisky produced in the Cognac region (it goes without saying, this is an area with considerable spirits history) from organic local barley produced in Poitou-Charentes. The whisky is distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged in former Cognac casks made from Limousin French Oak casks. A tremendously fruity single malt whisky, and incredibly powerful at a massive 67.8% ABV.
Vicomte Cask Strength Single Malt French Whiskey Tasting Notes

Palate: The palate has strong cherry notes–maraschino cherries, sour cherries in syrup, even Cherry coke–but with the sweetness well under control.
Finish: Medium-long with spicy finish.
