Description
An innovative product, Courvoisier Master's Cask Collection Sherry Cask Finish is the first expression of so called 'double barrel aging' to be released by one of the large Cognac houses. As the name suggests, the aging process is finished off in barrels that have previously been used to age Sherry - Pedro Ximénez Sherry, to be exact.
This has led to a unique tasting Cognac - one that will also appeal to malt whisky drinkers, as well as fans of Cognac. It's a VS quality, with the comonents making up the blend having been aged for between 2 1/2 to 8 years. They're then transferred to the PX Sherry barrels for a minimum of 4 months.
The result os a Cognac that has wide-ranging appeal. The younger generation will appreciate this very different take on a traditional Cognac. And it also lends itself as a great choice in cocktails.

About Courvoisier Cognac
Courvoisier is amongst the four leading cognac houses in the world. Legend has it that the emperor Napoleon himself chose Courvoisier as his preferred cognac, therefore Courvoisier is often referred to as “The Cognac of Napoleon”. The company dates back to 1828 and since has its headquarters in the town of Jarnac. With prestigious bottles such as Courvoisier Napoleon or Josephine, the cognac house is at the top of the luxury spirits market. The drink is strongly engrained in US Hip Hop culture with Busta Rhymes and P Diddy dedicating the song “Pass the Courvoisier” to the traditional cognac.

Tasting review by Renault Cognac:
Appearance: A beautiful shine with golden amber tints. Aromas and flavors: Slight, faint woody aroma, very ripe, slight candied fruit, apricot and vanilla notes. Texture and finish: Confirms the nose, well-balanced eau-de-vie, powerful and full-bodied.
Golden eye, fine nose. In the mouth subtle notes of oak - the finish round.
The Martell is a young blend, so no wonder we notice a very fruity aroma - with an idea of oak. The finish is rough, but short.
On the eye: golden, copper hints.
On the nose: rather full, some dark fruits
On the palate: spicy in the mouth and woody aromas. Smooth at the finish.
