D'Usse VSOP Cognac (750Ml)

Description

D'Ussé VSOP is a bold cognac made at the Château de Cognac in France. The château sits on the River Charente and ranks among the oldest cognac houses. Cellar Master Michel Casavecchia created the blend. It is now part of the Bacardi family of spirits.

The river gives the château two kinds of cellars. Humid cellars bring out fruity and floral notes. Dry cellars build woody, spicy depth. The eaux-de-vie are double distilled, then aged at least four and a half years in French oak.

The nose is powerful and woody, with touches of cinnamon and flowers. On the palate you get spice and almond, plus dried fruit and a hint of honey. It starts with real intensity and stays full-bodied. Then it settles into a smooth, balanced finish that ends on honey.

Sip it neat or over ice, or shake it into a Sidecar. Dark chocolate, roast duck or aged cheese all suit it. It makes a fine bottle to open when friends gather or you have something to celebrate.
