Description

When Courvoisier brought out this 12 year old Cognac, they bucked a huge trend in the industry. In fact, it marked the first time ever that one of the big Cognac houses had bottled one of its spirits with an age statement, as opposed to the standard lettering system (VS, VSOP, XO).

Nose: Big on apples and ripe fruit. We also get a slight herbal element (oregano perhaps), and some green tea.

Palate: Very light on the palate, starting off with those green notes. There is a slight touch of cucumber too, and eucalyptus. A vanilla sweetness develops, with some berry fruits.

Finish: It finishes on bramble leaves and raspberries.
