D'Ussé is a relatively new brand in the world of Cognac, launched in 2012 by Bacardi and Jay-Z, aiming to offer a modern twist to the traditional cognac experience. It has quickly gained popularity, particularly among younger consumers and has been prominently featured in the entertainment industry, which has significantly boosted its profile.
Reviewers describe D'Ussé VSOP as incredibly smooth, starting dry but becoming sweeter, dominated by flavors of black cherry and honey. Its balance and slightly sweet profile make it approachable, often described as an excellent gateway Cognac for newcomers, although it might not satisfy all die-hard Cognac enthusiasts.
Nose:
D'Ussé VSOP Cognac is described as having rich aromas of caramel and dried fig, providing a deep and enticing introduction. This is complemented by a Port-like hint of red fruit that adds complexity and allure to the nose.
Palate:
On the palate, the cognac offers a silky texture with flavors echoing the nose, notably dried fig and a subtle hint of red fruit. The taste profile is rounded out with notes of cocoa, cinnamon, and a faint touch of cayenne, adding a spicy kick that enhances the depth of flavors.
Finish:
The finish of D'Ussé VSOP is long and lingering, characterized by a continuation of the cocoa and cinnamon notes, with a spicy cayenne accent that leaves a lasting impression.
