We haven’t reviewed Courvoisier VSOP Cognac, but the company states:

“We use a blend from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus for our VSOP, giving it the Fine Champagne distinction. The unmistakable finesse of the vanilla, dried fruit and heady summer flower notes builds slowly while aging in French oak barrels for up to a decade. ”

We haven’t reviewed Conjure Cognac, but the company states:

“Handcrafted by Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Conjure is made from the ugni blanc grape from blends that represent a variety of Cognac regions, including, Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Borderie. A highly unique blend of both young and old cognacs, Conjure has been aged in fifty year-old oak barrels from Limousin, which can be found only in a boutique house such as Birkedal Hartmann. The combination of Conjure’s distinct blend and aged barrels provides an unparalleled complexity of smoothness, definition, and flavor. The first of its kind, Conjure features the full body and smooth finish of a quality French cognac combined with the mixability of a lighter spirit.

The rich copper color of Conjure accents a bouquet of cedar, cocoa, and hazelnut. Hints of vanilla, apricot and dried prune leave a smooth, warm feeling and long lasting elegant finish on the palate.
Eye: mahogany, deep amber, gold & copper
Nose: oak, cocoa, hazelnut spice, leather, powerful & complex
Taste: structure, prunes, apricot, vanilla, hints of spice, rich toffee, tobacco nuttiness”

Courvoisier – V.S.

• Overall Rating
• Nose

Everyone knows the name Courvoisier. Napeoleon knew it nearly two centuries ago, and we all know it now. Unlike some other famous brands, Courvoisier deserves its name and reputation. Priced extremely reasonably, Courvoisier VS is one of the few VS-level cognacs out there that’s really worth drinking on its own, rather than using it for cooking and mixing. Ranging around $25 for 750ml, its cheap enough for an everyday drink, but has a smoothness and flavor on level with the VSOP’s of a number of other makers. Subtle flavors are subdued, unsurprising for a VS, but the smooth delivery and delightful finish makes this one of the best buys for the price. (more…)

Fussigny’s XO is a Grande and Petite Champagne blended cognac. It consists of at least 50% Grande Champagne eau-de-vie. A. de Fussigny’s distilling methods are traditional. The humid cellars of A. de Fussigny are ideal for aging cognac, as they are situated by the banks of the river of Charente, in the cognac region. This kind of storage enhances aromas to where they are supposed to be, giving this cognac a fine and exquisite taste. Like all other Fussigny Cognacs, the A. de Fussigny XO Fine Champagne is aged either in Tronconnais casks or Limousin oak barrels.

Tasting notes: Fussigny XO is a perfect balance of dry fruits, spices and light hazlenut, and some floral notes.

The cognacs used to make Fussigny XO are aged an average of 25 years resulting in the perfect balance between dried fruits, spices, hazelnut and some floral notes. A rich and elegant palate with hints of plum and licorice.
