In 1865, inspired by a decorative handle of his offi ce window, Maurice Hennessy created the now-famous star symbol that he would use to classify his Cognacs. Thus was born the 3- Star Cognac, better known today as Hennessy VS which is a complex blend of more than forty eaux-de-vie (brandy parcels) from the four premier growing areas of the Cognac region.

Martell Blue Swift is the first-ever cognac VSOP matured in French oak barrels and finished in Kentucky bourbon casks. The delicate notes of candied fruit and plum, found in Martell VSOP, are complemented by the subtle sweetness of vanilla and toasted oak from the bourbon casks. The result is an exceptionally smooth interpretation of the Martell style, with a rounded taste and a unique character the most curious whiskey and cognac lover will enjoy discovering.

Perfect for cocktails, De Luze VS Cognac offers floral and citrus note, orange zest and a delicate hint of oak. Soft and velvety on the palate, the finish is long and deliciously fruity.

St Agnes put purity first when making their products. This VSOP is aged for 5 extra years to smooth and intensify this already silky Brandy. Savour a glass on the rocks or by the fire.
