Louis Royer VSOP

A potent VSOP from The Louis Royer House of Cognac, situated on the scenic Charente River bank in Jarnac since its 1853 establishment. It starts with hints of port, dried fruits, barley, and beer. The taste presents notes of plum, freshly baked apple, ripe peaches, orange zest, cinnamon, potpourri, licorice, leathery muskiness, and tobacco. The finish is extended and opulent, featuring apricot, rancio, and a trace of oak. September 2017

A nicely crafted VSOP that's easy to enjoy. Offers excellent value. It's not overly sweet, has oak notes, and is very flavorful. I believe the price and taste make it a winning choice.

Very fruity. Smells and tastes like plums and apricots. Smooth. I'll buy it again.

Pleasant flavors, but there's a mint or soap note that's off-putting.

Sampled within a filled dark chocolate. Extremely smooth and full of flavor.
