H. Hekpacob 15

H. Hekpacob 15 (N. Nekrasov 15) is a Russian brandy-style spirit produced in Krasnodar Krai from estate-grown grapes, including Aligote and Magarach’s Firstborn. First released in 2005 to mark the 60th anniversary of Victory Day, the blend is made from cognac distillates distilled in copper pot stills from vintages including 1999, 1995, 1994 and 1992, then aged 15 years in French oak before extended resting prior to bottling. It is bottled at 40% ABV in 700 ml format.

According to the brand, it offers aromas of pine, dried apricot and prune with hints of jasmine and almond, followed by a dense palate of chocolate and dried fruit, and a long finish with notes of tea, coffee and subtle bitterness.
