Maison Rouge VSOP

Prominent raisin and dark fruit, especially a dry plum. These flavors evolve into a sweeter cinnamon spice, oak, and subtle hay notes. Hints of orange peel are noticeable when ice is added. A very solid, budget-friendly cognac. I'd consider buying another bottle when the need for cognac arises.

The aroma is heavy on alcohol with a hint of bitter orange. The texture is light. Flavors of mild bitter orange, vanilla, and oak are present with a touch of sweetness. The finish is pleasant. It's not amazing, but it's acceptable.

Fruity with oak undertones. Excellent neat or in mixed drinks. Outstanding value and superior to several more expensive Cognacs.

Possesses a flavor profile somewhat akin to bourbon, featuring smooth woody notes and a subtle sweetness at the end.

Very drinkable, with nice oak and raisin characteristics. Excellent in mixed drinks.
