E-40's French Connection
Bay Area icon Earl "E-40" Stevens built Earl Stevens Selections from Napa wines outward into spirits, and Tycoon is his Cognac play: produced in Cognac, France, with the blends hand-selected by Stevens himself. The VSOP is the richer of the line's two grades — round, toasty and fruit-forward, made to sip rather than shoot. Set it beside the classics in our cognac collection, or browse his label on the Earl Stevens vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Confit peach and plum. Palate: Toast and vanilla oak with a round mouthfeel. Finish: Warm, with lingering aromas of the fruit and oak.
How to Enjoy
Serve it neat in a tulip or snifter to catch the confit fruit, or pour it over one large cube; it also lifts a Sidecar with its peach-and-plum depth.
