Their Cognac is made entirely out of top-quality Ugni Blanc grapes, for extraordinary strength of flavour. The company is also known for their distinctive bottle design, which features a leaping panther on the glass. This is a top-quality VSOP, aged for longer than what the law stipulates, and full of wonderful, lip-smacking flavour. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the nose, a wave of sweet grape aroma greets the drinker, subsiding to reveal notes of oak, candied citrus peel, tinned peaches and fresh orange juice.

No pressure, Gus, of course. But we know where your family live. Long story short, they made their own, and the brand, while not huge by any means, remains a much-revered producer to this very day. Indeed, Drinks International recently voted Meukow 'Brand of the Year' which, when you consider the Absolutes, etc. of this world, is no small feat. Making a range of traditional cognacs hasn't stopped the kids from keeping it current, and this rather delish VS Vanilla is an exhilarating combo of traditional cognac with a silky vanilla character to the fore. They don’t come much smarter than this, after a hard day watching the ticker tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEye:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSunset gold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFloral and spicy, bursting with hints of narcissus blossom and liquorice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVanilla dominates the palate, alongside candied fruits and soft caramel.
