Courvoisier VSOP Cognac 70cl

Bit of a shock that when I started to remove the plastic top, it just broke up into lots of small pieces, after some delicate balancing efforts I removed the remains of the stopper without bits dropping into the liquid. So glad I did that ahead of dinner guests arriving !!!! I decanted through a sieve, washed the bottle out, dried it then returned the cognac into the original bottle. Cognac is very nice so happy with that. Had a fancier stopper in my drawer, so that is now topping the bottle.

I enjoyed this drink with some apple juice to make a smooth mixer. There was a slightly different after taste I'm not used to, but I think the apple juice helped to tone it down. I'd share this with my friends in a social setting.

This is a really nice brandy. It is now in my list of top brandies that I will be buying. It is smooth, rich and very flavourful. I enjoyed it on its own and sometimes with one cube of ice.

This is such a unique taste and flavour, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I mixed it with Pepsi and the flavour was distinct without being overpowering. You could definitely taste the notes through the mixer but it was an enjoyable long drink, you didn’t feel that you needed to swig it. The after taste was pleasant and I found I could have drink many glasses and it would still have been enjoyable.

Has a velvety brown in colour, appears slightly lighter in a glass than the bottle. Has an aroma of spices and fruit, quite pleasant on the nose. Being a Cognac drinker I like to sip it neat and hold it in my mouth for a while to enjoy the release of the various flavours and the warming feeling that comes with the spirit. The Courvoisier was quite pleasant, smooth with a rich taste, fruity, nicely balanced although it had a slight rawness to it in its after taste.The presentation of the packaging I am not so sure on. The bottle has changed from the curved bottle which I have grown to associate with a fine Cognac to a more typical bottle that most spirits have. The labelling has also changed in style. I prefer the old packaging and bottle. I would say I enjoyed the experience overall of evaluating the product. But when it comes down to it it's really all about the taste and although it may not replace my current tipple I would recommend it as a close alternative.

Smooth with hints of zesty citrus. I drank this over ice. Lovely sophisticated drink great for an evening by the fire with a good book. The drink is perfect and to my liking. Defiantly recommend this cognac to friends and family. My dad would love this!!

I was so chuffed with this product! My father and I really enjoyed this smooth, fiery liquid. We loved the Smokey flavour and the light caramel aftertaste. We will certainly be buying this!

This is a quality cognac. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. It's nice and smooth. Can't complain at the price and I will be purchasing in the future. The box it comes in makes it a really good present too.

A hint of vanilla and citrus taste. It is smooth for seasoned brandy drinkers but could be strong if you’re not used to it. I found it very refreshing and enjoyable. Poured over ice you can’t go wrong.

I was impressed with this brandy it was so smooth I enjoyed it neat. It was also great with lemonade or in a cocktail.

I think it was worth it’s price
