-11%Pour this and you get golden amber in the glass and a whole orchard on the nose. Courvoisier VS is the young, vibrant end of cognac: fresh fruit, a little oak, a whisper of spice, then a finish so smooth it just glides. Brilliant over a single big ice cube on a slow Nairobi night, or shaken into a Sidecar when you want to look like you know what you're doing. Easy to love, hard to put down.
First whiff is all bright orchard fruit, think apple, pear and a squeeze of grapefruit, with floral notes floating over the top. That fruit comes from distilling the spirit without its lees, which keeps things fresh and lifted. Underneath sits a gentle French-oak warmth and a faint dab of spice, never heavy, never harsh. It's rounded and a touch sweet through the middle, then finishes clean and warm. Smooth is the word that keeps coming back.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Courvoisier hails from Jarnac, a small town in the Cognac region of France, where the eaux-de-vie are double-distilled in copper pot stills and aged in French oak. The VS leans mostly on the fruity Fins Bois cru with a bit of Petite Champagne for length. The cool backstory: the house started in 1790s Paris and legend has it Napoleon was so taken with the cognac that the brand still carries the nickname "The Cognac of Napoleon." Not bad for a bottle on your shelf.
