Martell VS Single Distillery

Very enjoyable. More grapes in taste compared to Hennessy VS where apples are more dominant alongside with oak notes. A bit less soft than Hennessy VS.

This was surprisingly good I just randomly tried this Cognac and it had a smooth that's all I could describe just a smoothness to it it was pretty good

Smooth but a little too light, with aromas of green apple, pear, dried fruits, light vanilla and caramel hidden in background. Easy drinking but too thin, subtle but not much complex, but still able to identify aromas discreetly. Short finish with little oak and wood aromas. Drink neat: a little too thin and lighter than my preference, also with short aftertaste. Drink through ice: more opened fruity aromas with a little more caramel, but still short aftertaste, so not enjoy much. Easier drinking when comparing to Hennessy VS, which is more aggressive and more oaky, this one is no-thinking-drinking and I thought it might pair well with Salmon Sashimi when chilled. My WOW part: when I mixed it with coffee! I brew Brazilian Americano (ice) + Martell VS (2:0.75 oz)... the result was amazing!! Brazilian coffee itself has a bold body with cocoa aroma, and mixed with caramel and vanilla aromas of Martell, made it more gentle, with vanilla as background. The aftertaste was increased (because this coffee bean has a very long finish) with cocoa wood aroma in the end. WOW!! For the price, it's a really fun cognac to try drinking with many things.

Fruit forward nose. Raspberry and black cherry. Smells like summer. Fruitiness continues on the palate. I get strong strawberry up front and a little bit of spicy cinnamon. Slightly buttery texture. Finish is fairly short but you're left with strawberry shortcake and vanilla cream. This is ridiculously good and I honestly feel like it benfits from the lack of oak aging in bringing out those delicious fruit flavours. That said, i cant wait to hopefully try the Cordon Bleu at some point.

Nose: lots of creamed fruit on the nose, such as strawberries or raspberries, also some hints of honey Palate: somewhat thin on the palate and a let down from the vibrant nose. There is some oak spice along with dried fruit Finish: fairly quick finish with slightly sour grapes and dusty wood notes.
