The smooth and flavorful cognac's luscious and fruity notes and flavors of vanilla and citrus are paired with a slightly bitter undertone for a well-balanced drinking experience. With both woody and spicy notes, as well as the fresh flavor of pear, Martell VS tastes great on its own but also pairs well with popular mixers such as orange juice and triple sec.

This vsop is a very classical of our style based on a blend of the two areas ‘fins bois’ and bons bois’. 40% abv colour: pale gold shiny nose: at the beginning the nose seems almost ‘hidden’ then gradually there is an impression of extreme smoothness with tea aromas. Mouth: the mouth is full of fruit ( mango) with a final smooth touch. Easy to drink this cognac combines the qualities of an after dinner drink and a cocktail base. Producer Description.

Long ago, in the 19th century, Cognac producers such as Elie Ferrand (8th generation) used a variety of casks to create a fascinating range of taste and complexity. Reviving this forgotten tradition, Ferrand Réserve is first aged in classic Cognac barrels and further matured in Banyuls barrels. This ancient technique creates a one-of-a-kind cognac that highlights the myriad nuances of the legendary “Rancio Charentais” with aromas of nuts, prune, and spice. Complex and meditative, it is the perfect sipping Cognac. Producer Description.
