France, 40%
V.S.O.P. (very superior old pale or very special old pale) Cognac has been aged a minimum of four years, although many examples are aged as long as ten to fifteen years or even longer. It is aged longer than a VS (very special), but less than an X.O.
Produced by both large and small Cognac houses, VSOP has remarkable complexity, especially with the long period of aging, which rounds out the Cognac, while adding a distinct spiciness and vanilla character.
COLOUR: Its warm amber color and its silver label will make you spot it at first glance.
NOSE: A core of ripe fruits disclosing aromas of apricot and honey. Then a spicy sense of cinnamon and clove, ended with a floral smell of rose.
TASTE: Smoothness and mellowness, made unique by a teasing interplay of aromas. Notes of honeysuckle, citrus, and mango.
