Eye: A rich, brooding amber that catches the light with golden shimmers.
Nose: Powerful bouquet, rich in woody notes, layered with touches of cinnamon and floral notes.
Palate: Distinctly and unexpectedly smooth, with each taste, you savor hints of spices, almond and cinnamon. Subtle hints of honey and dried fruits in the finale.
Description
The famous Jay Z Cognac liquor in a Cross of Lorraine decanter
D’USSÉ is the epitome of contemporary and tradition coming together in a cutting edge way. The uber-trendy D’USSÉ VSOP Cognac is the first of the D’USSÉ line, and Master Blender Michel Casavecchia weaves his magic by selecting only the finest eaux-de-vie aged for at least 4 and a half years in the dark cellars of the iconic Chateau de Cognac in France, which is also home to the historic Baron Otard producers.
A full bodied, warming blend that refreshes and arouses the palate, in a symbolic decanter that is the perfect collector’s item. Distinctively smooth.
The D’USSÉ VSOP Decanter
The two-barred cross decanter is both cutting edge and wonderfully rustic. With a simple cork and no label on the cork… it is somewhat regal; an interesting mix of medieval, bourgeois and somehow a bit rough. The bottle is dome-shaped, with a coppery gold metallic Cross of Lorraine etched into it.
The design gives an indication of the extensive history of Cognac blending knowledge at D’USSÉ, and the design is a subtle nod towards the forward-thinking element of the brand. Bottled at 40% ABV.
How to serve the D’USSÉ VSOP
Inviting cocktail recipes that go perfectly with the D’USSÉ VSOP include pineapple and amaretto over ice, with lemonade or with a red martini and walnut bitters. It also drinks beautifully from a snifter neat or over ice.
