A VSOP Aged Beyond the Minimum
VSOP legally requires four years; D'Usse holds its eaux-de-vie for at least four and a half at the Chateau de Cognac, the 200-year-old house on the River Charente where the brand was created. That extra patience shows in a VSOP with genuine weight — made to sip, not just to mix. See the house's other expression on the D'Usse vendor page, or browse our spirits collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: a powerful bouquet rich in woody notes, layered with touches of cinnamon and floral notes; on the palate, hints of spices, almond and cinnamon, with subtle accents of honey and dried fruits on the finish — distinctively and unexpectedly smooth.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a single cube to open the spice, and a natural base for a Sidecar where its cinnamon-and-almond frame lifts the citrus. More brandy is in our spirits collection.
