Courvoisier V.S.O.P. Cognac

Cognac | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | France

Process & Profile

Courvoisier V.S.O.P. Cognac is a classic, well-balanced V.S.O.P. built around a smooth marriage of mature eaux-de-vie that highlight fruit, floral notes, and gentle oak. Aged longer than V.S. expressions, V.S.O.P. Cognac is designed to feel richer and more rounded, with a silky texture and a warm, refined finish. Courvoisier’s house style leans elegant rather than heavy—think bright orchard fruit and subtle spice, supported by toasted oak and a light vanilla sweetness.

This is an easy recommendation for customers who want a premium cognac that works both neat and in elevated cocktails.
