Salignac V.S.Cognac (750ml)

Salignac V.S. was founded in 1809 in Jarnac France by Louis Salignac and is owned by the Courvoisier brand. Salignac is an unique V.S. in that the cognacs are blended before they are aged. According to Salignac “Most cognacs are blended or as we French say, “Married” after they are aged. But we at Salignac, we marry our young cognacs before ageing. Their years of intermingling in oaken casks allow time to perform its maturing miracle.

The Color-Caramel, perhaps coloring added.

The Nose-Vanilla, oak and raisins.

Mouth-Caramel candy and grape.

Finish-Short finish of soft spice.

Overall-Salignac V.S. has been compared to Hennessy V.S. Both cognacs are young examples of V.S. cognacs in which the unaged eaux-de-vie flavors are more apparent than in older V.S. and V.S.O.P. cognacs. Given the lack of complexity of Salignac V.S., it is better suited to mixing. For the cost conscious this is a good quality product and can probably be substituted almost unnoticed for Hennessy in many cognac cocktails.
