Dark golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of felt tipped marker, green apple, red plum, and apricot and pear with a round, lively, dryish medium body and a warming, appealing, medium-length finish displaying impressions of apricot, baked cherry tart, vanilla, and muscovado sugar. Lively and fruity, exactly what you want from a young 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.
