Martingale Cognac Review
Martingale is a newish brand from a family with a long Cognac-making tradition (they often supplied their eaux-de-vie to bigger houses, as is standard). The one product in the brand’s own line is excellent, packed with orchard fruit (think: pear) and flowers on the nose, leading into a fruity body with just a touch of oak. It’s soft and easy drinking and would be ideal as a “summer sipper” or in a highball.
