Omage Brandy VSOP

Omage Brandy VSOP is an American brandy that aims to offer a refined and approachable experience, drawing inspiration from Cognac production methods while forging its own identity using California grapes. It is part of the Omage lineup created by Julious Grant, a veteran of the wine and spirits industry. The "VSOP" designation stands for "Very Superior Old Pale," indicating it has been aged for at least four years in oak barrels.   

Production: Omage Brandy VSOP is produced in California using a blend of grape varietals from the state's wine-making regions. The production process incorporates elements of the "méthode cognaçaise," including distillation in both pot and column stills. The aging process involves the use of both charred and toasted American bourbon barrels and French oak barrels, which contributes to its flavor profile and color.   

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: It typically has a deep amber-gold hue.   
• Aroma: The nose offers inviting aromas of fresh citrus and stone fruit, complemented by floral notes and a toasty vanilla oak finish. Other descriptions include dried fruits (apricots, figs), warm vanilla, and subtle hints of toasted oak.   
• Palate: The palate is described as having a light, elegant, and refined taste with notes of toffee, dried apricot, and a hint of oak. Some detect ripe plum, caramelized sugar, and gentle spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.   
• Finish: The finish is generally dry and lingering, with a rich and lovely smooth texture. The oakiness often remains, complemented by a subtle, lingering warmth.   

Awards and Recognition: While specific awards solely for Omage VSOP are not prominently featured in the immediate search results, the brand emphasizes its quality and craftsmanship. One source mentions that Omage aims to fill a void in the U.S. market for a premium brandy with the craftsmanship of a fine French cognac.   

Overall Impression: Omage VSOP Brandy is positioned as a premium American brandy that offers a balance of fruitiness and oak influence, making it enjoyable neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails. It seeks to provide a more approachable and less sweet alternative to some brandies while still delivering character and robustness. Some reviewers have noted its darker color for its age and a significant vanilla thread, alongside stone fruit and raisin notes.
