Christmas in Cognac

Martell Cordon Bleu is the Cognac for true connoisseurs, perfect for those who enjoy theirs neat or with a splash of water. The preponderance of Borderies eaux-de-vie, gives Martell Cordon Bleu an elegant, mellow, and complex character.

It’s legendary status carries through to its impressively long finish of spiced dried fruit.

For a mellow and elegant serve, Cordon Bleu remains an emblem of excellence.

Those shopping for the Cognac cocktail-lover, Hennessy VSOP Cognac has a tendency to elevate those favoured signature serves. A cognac of remarkable consistency and vitality, the VSOP has rich mahogany colour, with a flavour profile to match.

Dried fruits, oak, vanilla, and an undertone of tobacco on the finish makes this a versatile cocktail cabinet staple.
