Amber color. Interesting aromas of apple, toffee, and matchsticks with a round, soft, light-to-medium body and a seamless, fast dried lemon, clover honey, and spice cake finish. Mild, light and subtle for a smooth Wisconsin Old Fashioned or even a highball.

About
VS Cognac
V.S. (Very Superior, also known as V.S.P or Three Star, very superior pale and ***) Cognacs require a minimum of two years aging in a cask, although the industry average is four to five years. These are generally lighter in style with more young, fruity flavors that make them a good choice for classic Cognac cocktails like a Sidecar, Brandy Alexander, or the original version of the Mint Julep.
