Courvoisier
VS Cognac

Category: VS Cognac

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 40%
Amber color. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, candied walnut, cinnamon and nutmeg, and cocoa dusted espresso beans with a round, lively, dryish medium-to-full body and a tingling, intriguing, medium-length finish that presents accents of black cherry, plum, cocoa, and baking spices. Red fruit-forward with a round mouthfeel, creamy texture, and a nice amount of cocoa and spice; exactly what you expect from a VS with Petite Champagne grapes.

About
VS Cognac
V.S. (Very Superior, also known as V.S.P or Three Star, very superior pale and ***) Cognacs require a minimum of two years aging in a cask, although the industry average is four to five years. These are generally lighter in style with more young, fruity flavors that make them a good choice for classic Cognac cocktails like a Sidecar, Brandy Alexander, or the original version of the Mint Julep.
