Martell Blue Swift Cognac VSOP

Cognac Finished in American Whiskey Barrels

Martell Blue Swift is a genuinely innovative and distinctive expression from Martell — one of the oldest cognac houses in France, founded in 1715 — that takes their VSOP cognac and finishes it in American whiskey barrels, creating a spirit that bridges the worlds of French cognac and American whiskey in a combination that is both unexpected and deeply rewarding. The result is a cognac with the elegance and fruit of Martell's house style, enriched by the vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak character of American whiskey barrels.

Tasting Notes

• Finish: Long and warming with lingering caramel, vanilla, and a clean, toasted American oak warmth
