-14%Martell VSOP 70cl
Save KSh 1,520 · 14% off
Pour this into a glass and the whole room slows down a little. Martell VSOP is that warm copper cognac that goes down velvety-smooth, ripe orchard fruit up front, a whisper of oak and spice on the way out. It's the bottle you crack open after a long week, or set on the table when people you actually like come over. Neat, slow, no rush.
First sniff is all ripe yellow fruit, think mirabelle plum, apricot and a soft peachy sweetness, like a fruit bowl that's had a touch of sun. Take a sip and it's beautifully balanced: that juicy fruit rolls across your tongue, then gentle oak and soft baking spice tuck in behind it. Texture is silky, the warmth builds slow and friendly rather than sharp. It finishes long and a little sweet, not a hint of harshness. Easy to see why this one's a crowd-pleaser.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Maison Martell set up shop in the town of Cognac back in 1715, which makes it the oldest of the big cognac houses. Their signature trick is distilling only clear wines (lees and sediment stripped out first), then ageing the spirit in fine-grained French oak, which keeps it light and lets that delicate fruit shine. The VSOP is a blend pulling from four of Cognac's crus, with the youngest spirit sitting in barrel at least four years. VSOP stands for Very Superior Old Pale, in case anyone asks.
