Branson Royal VSOP Cognac by 50 Cent
Branson Royal VSOP Cognac by 50 Cent is a 40% ABV (80 proof), 750mL VSOP Cognac from Sire Spirits, aged a minimum of four years in French oak barriques. The eaux-de-vie are sourced from across the Cognac region — mainly Petite Champagne and Borderies — from Ugni Blanc grapes, small-batch pot distilled and rested in oak from the Allier, Limousin and Troncais forests. The result pours bright medium amber: oak, floral and spice on the nose, woody herbs, vanilla and raisin on the palate, and a long, spicy finish. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

50 Cent's Royal VSOP
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson built Branson under his Sire Spirits banner to drink above its grade, and the Royal is the VSOP statement of that idea: older oak, prized crus, and a soft French-oak finish. It earns its place on our cognac shelf, and the full Branson range runs from the Phantom VS up through the Royal.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Oak first, then intense floral and spice fragrance. Palate: Mellow with a gentle warmth — woody herbs, vanilla, raisins and dried fruit. Finish: Long and spicy.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass is the classic serve, and the four-year oak base also gives a Sidecar real depth. Let it breathe a few minutes before the first sip.
