Save KSh 3,400 · 31% off
Pour this and your nose gets it first: ripe plum, a little apricot, a curl of candied lemon, then warm vanilla underneath. Sip it and it's smooth, rounded, gently sweet, none of that harsh bite cheaper brandies hit you with. This is the bottle for an easy night in, a slow nightcap after the nyama choma is done, or a cocktail you actually want to impress someone with. And at a full litre, it lasts the whole crew, not just the first round.
Golden amber in the glass, and lively on the nose: plum and apricot up front, candied lemon zest, soft vanilla and a whisper of oak. On the palate it's fruity and smooth, mellow more than fiery, with a clean, fresh finish that doesn't drag. Martell builds this lighter, fruit-forward style on purpose, so it's an approachable cognac whether you sip it neat or stretch it into a long drink.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Martell is one of the oldest cognac houses going, set up back in 1715 by a young trader named Jean Martell. The house has a signature trick: they distil their wines clear, without the lees, which is a big reason their cognac comes out cleaner and more elegant than most. The VS is built mainly from eaux-de-vie of the Fins Bois cru, aged at least two years in fine-grain French oak. Pure cognac country, southwest France.

- What is the difference between VS and VSOP?
VS stands for Very Special. It means the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend is aged at least two years. VSOP is aged longer, so VS is the younger, fruitier, more mixable expression.
- Is cognac the same as brandy?
Cognac is a brandy, but a specific one. It has to be made from white grapes in the Cognac region of France and double-distilled in copper pot stills. All cognac is brandy, not all brandy is cognac.
- Where is Martell VS from?
France, from the Cognac region in the southwest. Maison Martell has been making it since 1715.
