‘Red’ is a reference to the reddish colour of aged oak. These barrels, crafted from fine-grained oak, have already been used to age eaux-de-vie and have reached the perfect stage of maturity before being selected for this cognac. Martell VSOP Aged in Red Barrels perfectly highlights Martell’s unique ageing style. Darker and more complex than the VS, this is a great after-dinner Cognac, but will also add spice to a range of good cocktails. Rich, smooth and mellow.
