About this bottle

Martell's VSOP Medaillon Cognac incorporates eaux-de-vie between four and seven years old, with the average age said to be closer to six years of age. The blend incorporates grapes from four of six Cognac crus, with an emphasis on the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne regions. This is contrary to most of Martell's line, which heavily emphasizes the Borderies region. Note: This style is being phased out and replaced with Martell VSOP Aged in Red Barrels.

WhiskyWitch 2.0

Oaky caramel with a salty lime note (is this what they call "rancio"?). A little off-putting on its own, but the perfect kind of flavor for mixing with DiSaronno (my drink "fixer"). This actually gets better with oxidation, I noticed, bringing out more of the raisiny notes hidden behind the tang at first.

smooth and mellow. strong hints of citrus and star anise. long, warm oaky finish. started in 1831, owned by period Ricard. Jean Martell started distilling in 1715.

SpiritualDoc 3.5

A bit spiritous at the beginning. Need time to breathe. Oak and raisins. Sweet caramel taste. Surely its not XO one but also not bad

olbakk 2.5

Spicy and s bit spirit taste at the beginning. Pepperfilled aftertaste Nothing special, just ok.

Tomas Madaj 4.3

Bit too much of the raisins or maple syrupy sweetness. Besides that nice and smooth.

마르텔 나폴레옹 옅은 포도, 오래된 뭔가의 냄새 쿰툼하고 옅은, 달달함 후 살짝 쌉쌀 가볍게 넘어가는 목넘김, 순한 맛
