Martell VS Cognac
40% ABV | 80 Proof | Aged Minimum 2 Years | 750mL
Process & Profile
Martell VS (Very Special) is a young and vibrant expression from one of Cognac’s most historic houses. Produced from a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced from key regions in Cognac, this spirit is double-distilled and matured for at least two years in fine-grain French oak barrels. The result is a balanced, fruit-forward cognac that embodies Martell’s hallmark smoothness and approachability.
Unlike other houses, Martell distills only clear wines without lees, preserving the pure fruit character of the grapes and allowing for a cleaner, more refined final spirit.
