Courvoisier V.S.O.P. Review
One of the “Big Four” Cognac houses, Courvoisier enjoys large-scale international distribution and presumably a great depth of raw materials and aged distillate to work with. For a producer of this size, consistency is one of the main names of the game, and indeed we’ve found that across the board, Courvoisier’s lineup is both dependable and offers good value for money. Should you wish to splurge, look to the brand’s classy X.O., which we’ve reviewed favorably in the past. For more of an everyday option, this V.S.O.P. offers an enjoyable mix of fruit and oak notes, and confidently navigates cocktail occasions.
