Martell VS Single Distillery Cognac

Martell, founded in 1715, is the oldest of the great Cognac houses, and the VS Single Distillery is its take on the entry-level VS category, released in May 2017 with a contemporary look. Where most Cognac blends eaux-de-vie from many distillation sources, this one marries spirits from a single distillation source, which Martell says gives a richer, more intense expression of the house style. That style comes from a choice Martell makes that sets it apart from the other major houses: it distills only clear wines, with the sediment removed before distillation, to emphasize the luscious fruit aromas and finesse the house is known for. It's bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). Martell's own notes describe a gold, shiny Cognac with plums, apricots and candied lemon on the nose, a fruity palate, and a rich, luscious finish with a hint of candied lemon peel. Difford's Guide adds caramel, crème brûlée, vanilla and dried apricot aromas, with a palate of lightly sweet caramel and vanilla fudge balanced by zesty lemon and cinnamon and nutmeg-spiced oak. It's a lively VS built for mixing, and it shines in a Sidecar, a French 75 or simply over ice with tonic.
