About this bottle

Camus VSOP Cognac is part of the core range of cognacs from the largest family-owned cognac house. All cognacs from the house include at least some eaux-de-vie from the Borderies region. The VSOP is part of its collection of intensely aromatic cognacs. The wines are distilled on the lees and a technique called "Instensity" is used in the distillation process where the "heads" that present the best aromatic qualities are selected rather than being redistilled and set aside. The eaux-de-vie is matured in small, lightly toasted fine grain French oak. Aged a minimum of 4 years.

Let sit for about a minute. 👀: Deep orange-rusty colored hue, tears are jagged and uneven; 👃: Grape influence strong, very floral and fruity, reminiscent of certain Scotches/Japanese Whisky, vanilla at the back end; 👅: Rich and sweet, sugar water at the front end, tastes a bit like prune juice (in a good way!!), Oily and sticks to your tongue; 🏁: Short finish, vanilla candy at the end, beautiful finish *voila*

ckaisoum 4.3

Very fruit forward, strong hints of baked apple and cinnamon. Vanilla finish and a nice controlled burn. A great way to finish a meal and an approachable price point. Independently owned to boot

BourboNeff 4.3

Wonderfully rich floral notes on the nose that then open up with vanilla. Fruit is dominate on the palate with a hint of caramel. The finish is mild and fades quickly.

jumalhamara 4.0

Not great for its price, but great essentially. Truly intense and rich both in aroma and taste, exstatic on a long run. One of the true VSOPs out there.

Ercus 3.5

Mildly fruity, very floral. Slightly spicy and a faint bitter finish. Outstanding way to end a meal.

Larry Lewallen 4.3

Yummy! And, at a good price!
