Drop of lush: Cognac Daniel Bouju – Très Vieux Cognac and VSOP Grande Champagne Cognac

When French say that the delivery is on its way and should arrive in 5 days, you have to count with at least a month before you get the bottle you have longed for. On Friday, after several weeks of waiting, I was finally able to pick up another bottle for my collection at the post office – this time I chose cognac Daniel Bouju Très Vieux Cognac.

Daniel Bouju Très Vieux Cognac

This cognac is between 30 to 50 years old and it matures in new Limousin Oak casks. It has a dark amber colour which reflects the fact, that the distillate is not filtered. The cognac has a strong character with wooden undertones and spicy aroma.

VSOP Grande Champagne Cognac

In my tasting set from Masterofmalt I have discovered some cognac by the same producer, but younger. Daniel Bouju VSOP Grande Champagne is a nice cognac for a very reasonable price. In Czech Republic it can be bought for about 1000 CZK (30 Euro).

Tasting notes:

Colour: dark amber with reddish tones
Aroma: gentle non-aggressive aroma
Taste: strong, complex, vanilla undertones
Finish: vanilla, slightly spicy
