The roundness and supple aromas of Bisquit Cognacs are preserved beautifully in these cocktails, which are crisp and delicious, with very few ingredients in them. Bisquit V.S is soft and fresh, with a bouquet of fruity aromas (pear and plum) and deeper notes of vanilla and cinnamon. Bisquit V.S.O.P is smooth and mellow, with a long finish. On the nose and palate, it has a bouquet of full, ripe fruit (dried apricots) and spice (cinnamon and clove). As a result of these taste profiles, it is recommended that Bisquit V.S and Bisquit V.S.O.P are used in cocktails.

Top tip: If you’d like to try your hand at making your own Cognac cocktails, it is important to note that very acidic ingredients such as pineapple do not pair well with cognac as they destroy the fats within the Cognac.
