Martell Cognac Blue Swift 75cl (VSOP)

The first-ever Cognac VSOP matured in French oak casks and finished in Kentucky Bourbon casks.

Martell’s signature process of distilling Cognacs free of impurities leave it open to absorbing the rich aromatic tones from the Bourbon cask.The result is Martell’s hallmark Cognac style, characterized by delicate notes of candied fruit and plum, now complimented by the subtle sweetness of vanilla and toasted oak from bourbon casks.

Exceptionally smooth, with a rounded taste and unique character, this redefines the boundaries of Cognac. For years, the Swift has been an icon for Martell. A bird with the rare ability to fly for days without stopping, the Swift is bound by nothing –traversing oceans and continents. Martell pays tribute to its own history of breaking boundaries –this time with an American twist.

Founded in 1715, Martell is the oldest of the great Cognac Houses. The elegance, complexity and balance of Martell style are the result of a unique savoir-faire: the distillation of clear wines only and the ageing of its eaux-de-vie in fine-grain oak barrels..   CONSUMPTION TIPS: – ON ICE The best of two worlds: the fruity notes, the finesse and structure of Martell VSOP associated with vanilla and spicy notes from the bourbon.   – BLUE SWIFT COCKTAILS Blue Swift is the perfect ingredient for cocktails. It smoothens the acidity of citruses juices and enables a perfect equilibrium of flavors. If used with products that are wine-based or plant-based, its aromatic intensity amplifies the complexity of the cocktail without taking over the other ingredients .    – LENGHTENED WITH MIXER When Blue Swift is mixed with coke or ginger ale, its aromatic richness compensates for the sensation of sweetness of the mixer to which it is associated with.
