Courvoisier VSOP Cognac Tasting note

By Miguel at 2012 Jan,11 in Tasting , Courvoisier

This cognac is made from wines from two regions in the Champagne region of France (grande champagne and petite champagne)- thus, the "fine champagne" on the bottle) and is aged eight to twelve years. It is gold-caramel colored, and when nosed has hints of oak, cinnamon, and an alcohol ester that can water the eyes. Drink it in and you will taste oak and then a nutty finish. It is a little hot going down, and if swished about the mouth will prick the tongue

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (90): strong. sweet, grapes, floral, citrus, wood.

Palate (87): smooth, powerful. grapes, wood, spices, apples biscuits.

Finish (85): longer than average. citrus, grapes, spices.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Courvoisier VSOP Cognac with 87 points over 100.
