Description
A Tale of Two Brothers: Meukow VSOP Cognac
The multi-award-winning Meukow VSOP Superior Cognac is well worthy of its acclaim. The House of Meukow blends together vintages from all six cognac regions for their expressions, using casks aged a year longer than required to create this sumptuous VSOP.
Adorned in some of the most prestigious competitions and tastings around the world, the incredible roundness of Meukow VSOP Cognac is thanks to the meticulous selection of eaux-de-vie within the blend. Rich, yet delicate tannins partner with delicious dried fruit aromas to make this a truly outstanding Cognac for the price.
Meukow was founded by two brothers from Silesia, August-Christophe and Gustav Meukow, and is today one of the few Russian Cognac brands in the Charente region. Initially sent to source Cognac for Tsar Alexander II in 1850, the brothers travelled back and forth for years in their search for the most prestigious casks. Seeing an opportunity to start up business for themselves, in 1862 they decided to remain in France and opened their distillery.
The company grew rapidly, managed under the influence of prestigious shareholders like Henri Bouraud, the Mayor of Cognac from 1849 to 1869. Today, Meukow Cognac is distributed in over 80 countries around the world.

Negative reviews of this exceptional product have no merit in comparison to other competition
I have experienced many name brand VSOP and XO Cognac products and can honestly say that this Meukow VSOP Cognac is now my favorite Cognac based on its taste and value. You cannot find another product that provides a taste and finish compared to other brands and I don't care if you mention Hennessy,...
Excellence, at a reasonable price!
It saddened me to see a reviewer with no experience with cognacs and admitting it, rating this wonderful VSOP so low. Personally, I found Meukow VSOP Superior Cognac to be beautifully blended, smooth and very flavorful. I will definitely purchase this fine cognac again and again.

I prefer a lighter, floral aroma. I’m beginner with Cognac and wanted to go to the next flavor up so I tried this VSOP as recommended by the retail merchant. Monnet still is my favorite so far. Will give Meukow to my boyfriend for I am certain this rough finish with mature fruit flavors will be...
About Meukow Cognac
As the name suggests, Cognac Meukow is one of the few Russian Cognac brands in the Charente region. In 1862 two brothers were sent over to France to supply the Tsar with Cognac and decided to start their own Cognac distillery.
The brand has become known as the “jaguar liquor”, or the “panther liquor”, thanks to its distinctive bottle design. The big cat in question is in fact a puma, and today, with its famous logo, ranks among the most well-known Cognac brands in the world. Its qualities are strength, elegance, sensuality and exotism, the character traits of the puma.
The distillery is housed in Matha in the Charente Maritime, and are particularly celebrated for their VS Cognac, Vanilla Cognac liqueur and 90-Proof Liquor among many others.
