Martell Blue Swift VSOP Cognac Finished in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels

Martell Blue Swift is an innovative and distinctive VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) cognac from the esteemed House of Martell. What sets it apart is its unique finishing process: after the initial aging in French oak casks, the cognac is further matured in Kentucky bourbon barrels. 

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The aroma offers a captivating fusion of classic cognac notes and bourbon influences. Expect initial aromas of dried fruit (plum, apricot), vanilla, and sweet spices (cinnamon). This is beautifully complemented by the bourbon barrel finish, which introduces notes of caramel, honey, and a subtle hint of toasted oak and even a whisper of bourbon grain.
• Palate: The palate is smooth and well-rounded, delivering a harmonious blend of flavors. The dried fruit and spice notes characteristic of Martell VSOP are present, layered with the sweet and creamy vanilla, caramel, and toffee from the bourbon barrel. 
• Finish: The finish is moderately long and warming, with the sweet and spicy notes lingering. The bourbon influence becomes more apparent in the finish, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of oak that is distinct from traditional cognac finishes.
