Camus VSOP Intensely Aromatic

Review #71 - Cognac / Brandy #10 Bought for around 35 eur per 0.7L a while back, but didn't get the chance to open it since I focused on whisky :). Aspect - Orange-amber colour. Nose - Sweet, oranges, honey, vanilla, caramel, plum, grapes, peach, acidity, oak and oak spice, very floral...lavander, rose petals and white flowers. Oxidation brings forth a wonderful nuttyness...walnuts. Palate - Smooth and light front-end, mouthcoating, yet the youth is still noticeable on the mid-palate...slight prickliness, with oak spice...a bit harsh. Finish - Short-medium, honey, vanilla, floral again, basically the same aforementioned notes...with caramel and slight bitterness, and more oranges. Very pleasant. Pleasant, enjoyable...still a bit harsh, lighter than Remy Martin VSOP, but more aromatic than something like ABK6 VS.

Nose lives up to its appellation, intense fruity and floral notes. Palate has fresh apple, pear, spices, vanilla and caramel notes. Finish is short and sweet. Distiller Review No. 955

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.

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
