Tasting notes: Pale colour, a nose dominated by fruits, wood. A lot of flower. On the palate it's a rather elegant VS.

Tasting review
Tasting review by Leyrat Cognac:
Old gold color. A dense initial nose displays dried hay and a touch of spice. It develops to more pronounced oak with traces of pears and pepper. The palate is smooth and rich, with an aftertaste of oak and flowers, violets in particular.
Description
The Leyrat VSOP Reserve Cognac is a Fins Bois blend that offers a very fruity, oaky taste experience. Presented in a traditional style cognac bottle and presentation box, this versatile blend is a great staple to own. It can be enjoyed as a digestif or aperitif - and for a slightly different tasting experience can be tried with a block of ice or a couple of drops of water.
Leyrat create a wide variety of cognacs all of which are made with a passion, experience, and knowledge that's been handed down over the generations. This VSOP quality cognac is no exception, and will delight anyone - be they a cognac connoisseur or those only beginning their journey into the joys of cognac.

Tasting review from Domain Francis Abecassis:
Aromas of spices and sandalwood developing from long aging in oak barrels.
Palate reveas notes of cigar box and a lingering honey finish.
Tasting notes: The nose epitomises cognac that has been aged for a prolonged period with a plethora of spicey and cigar-box aromas. With time, oakier notes appear and a damp leafy humus with a hint of forest mushroom
Other VSOP Cognac bottles
Eye: A deep, reddish orange.
Nose: Some spicy hints with the harmony of vanilla; characteristic for its growth area origin.
Palate: A smooth VSOP which unfolds as something quite floral and fruity in the mouth. It is long and mellow.
Tasting review:
Notes of dried fruit and almonds on the nose. On the palate there is a good balance between the cognac and the wood tannins from its years in oak casks. Smooth and round, it just melts in the mouth.
Tasting review by Tiffon:
This cognac is pure and natural with pleasant aromas of citrus flavor and driedfruits. It has very pure and light oak aromas on the palate. Great harmony and balance between oak and fruits.
There is no tasting review of Bisquit VSOP, but the producer notes: Appreciated for the subtle interplay of aromas ranging from a core of ripe fruits (dry apricot, honey) and sweet spices (cinnamon, clove) underlined with floral nuances (rose), Bisquit VSOP is smooth and mellow on the palate,...
