About this bottle

Paul Giraud Cognacs consistently surpass the minimum aging requirements for their designated classifications, often by several years. Their VSOP is aged for 8 years, which is double the required minimum. It matures in Limousin oak within humid aging cellars, and no coloring is ever added to their products.

James Voss 3.3

Smells of burnt caramel candy apple. Tastes similar, with white pepper and an herbal finish. It's not a bad drink, but not one I'd seek out again.

Atticus Obrien 4.0

First tasted this in France, very good. Sweet and warm. Quite special.

Griffin Coats 4.0

Delicate and light, with subtle spice, sweetness, and a buttery quality.

Maurice Bach 4.0

Delicious! Very light, smooth, and pleasantly sweet without being too much.
