On the nose one notices a strong rancio, full and rich. The taste is dominated by some dry fruits, cigar box - finally a round and pleasant finish.

Tasting review
Otards VSOP combines a strong nose with floar notes, and green fruit with a rougher, earthy tobacco note in the mouth. Slight hint of spices and vanilla, a great product with a solid finish. Clearly some tobacco hints.

About Otard Cognac
With an ancient tradition tracing back to the middle ages, and to the great Norwegian Viking Ottar, this cognac dynasty has a unique history. Around the same time, the Chateau de Cognac was built in an entirely different place and culture. Eventually, the two histories would unite in the cognac house Otard, founded in 1795. Today, Otard Cognac is amongst the most recognized in quality and remains to take a strong position in the industry. The elegant bottles are a sign of tradition as well as modern values.

Other Otard Cognac bottles
Baron Otard's review: The powerful, generous attack reveals dominant plum fragrances and walnut hints. Smooth spices, in particular nutmeg, magnify the entire composition. A sweet hint of candied orange mingles with the nobility of a robust leather scent in the finish.
The VS is a young Baron Otard Cognac of course, but rather balanced for what it is, some fruity aromas in the mouth, intense flower. Finish: a bit sharp.
Nose: Round and balanced notes, oak hints, plum and almond. A rich rancio comes in, some leather aromas due to its length of ageing. The Borderies spirits in this blend lead to a floral fragrance.
Eye: Its amber coloring indicates a great cCgnac.

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.
There are no personal tasting notes from our side yet.
An amber colour with a subtle nose of vanilla hinting at aromas of dried fruit. A rich, balanced cognac. The Gautier VSOP can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a long drink with soda, to enjoy all of its refreshing flavours.
Tasting review:
Eye: Beautiful straw yellow color
Nose: Aromas of vine flower & linden with a touch of vanilla
Palate: Round, rich, and harmoniously balanced. Fresh, original, with notes of vanilla and toast

Q&A
This elegant cognac comes with full-bodied aromas, great finesse and a good length on the palate. The nose is rich in floral notes, backed by touches of linden tree leaves, pear, tobacco and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is round and mellow, with subtle, fruity flavours enhanced by a hint of spices. It has an opulent deep golden colour.
