Description

Courvoisier VS Cognac is a refined spirit hailing from the prestigious Cognac region of France. Crafted with a keen eye for detail, it blends eaux-de-vie from the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne crus, resulting in a harmonious interplay of flavors. With an alcohol content of 40%, this VS, or "Very Special" cognac, is aged for a minimum of two years, which imparts a youthful vibrancy to its profile while still offering a depth of character that experienced connoisseurs appreciate. Upon tasting, you'll discover an inviting balance of fruit and oak. The initial palate reveals notes of ripe orchard fruits such as pear and apple, layered over subtle hints of vanilla and caramel derived from its careful aging in French oak barrels. As the flavors evolve, the warmth of toasted nuts and a whisper of spice emerge, creating a smooth finish that lingers softly. Courvoisier VS is versatile enough to be enjoyed in a variety of ways. When sipped neat, its nuanced complexity unfolds fully, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate the pure essence of cognac. For cocktail enthusiasts, it serves as a superb foundation in classics like the Sidecar or Brandy Alexander, where its bright, fruity notes intermingle beautifully with citrus or cream-based ingredients. It can also lend a refined touch to a Sazerac, adding a layer of sophistication to the cocktail's rich herbal and anise profile. For optimal enjoyment, serve Courvoisier VS at room temperature in a classic snifter, allowing the cognac to breathe and release its bouquet. Its approachable nature makes it a delightful companion to a range of foods, from mild cheeses to light desserts like tarte tatin, enhancing the dining experience with its balanced and elegant profile.

    Bought it as a stocking stuffer for my dad and honestly he liked it more than me. He finished his glass way faster than mine.

    Sounds like your dad made the right call! If you ever want to try another classic French brandy together, ask about our Hennessy lineup next time.

    Pretty smooth sipper for VS. Not as harsh as others Ive tried, but still got a bit of heat going down neat. Solid for mixing too.

  • M. Rodriguez ★★★★☆

    NYE at my cousins place, Courvoisier VS was what everybody ended up mixing in their cups. Smoother than I remembered, just a bit strong on its own for some of the crew.

    Response from CBC Liquors, Westford

    Always gets broken out at big gatherings. If you want something a little lighter next time, try the Remy VSOP. - Tom
