Aroma defines cognac. Its notes are shaped by its grape, its cask, terroir, and length of maturity. Courvoisier harvests its grapes from the finest crus in the Cognac region, resulting in the exquisite harmony of aroma and sublime refinement that is its VSOP. The delicate, complicated process of distillation on the lees gives this spirit its musk and fruity notes, calling to mind the aroma of jasmine. Thanks to several years of careful aging in French oak casks, the cognac takes on a nutty quality. Perfect aging then goes on to create a sweet, caramelized aroma reminiscent of roasted almonds. Peach notes derive from the careful selection of that region's finest wines, which when appropriately aged and distilled, bring forth the scent of warm, ripened peach. Its seductive flavor and exceptional dryness makes Courvoisier VSOP the perfect choice for cocktails, and long drinks that require a better quality of mixer.
