Premium Cognac

Cognac is a prestigious brandy from France made from white wine grapes, aged in oak barrels. From everyday VS (Very Special) to aged VSOP and ultra-premium XO expressions, cognac offers richness, smoothness, and complexity perfect for sipping neat or in classic cocktails. At Sipsy, we feature cognac from renowned houses and independent producers.

What is the difference between VS, VSOP, and XO cognac?

VS (Very Special) cognac is aged at least 2 years, offering approachable character. VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) ages 4+ years, developing deeper complexity. XO (Extra Old) ages 10+ years minimum, offering premium smoothness and depth. Each category represents different aging and price points.

What makes cognac different from other brandies?

Cognac must come from France's Cognac region and follow strict production rules using specific grape varieties and oak aging. Other brandies are made elsewhere using varied methods. Cognac has legal protections and quality standards. The terroir and production methods create cognac's distinctive character and prestige.

How do you choose the best cognac for your tastes?

Start with age category: VS for approachable sipping, VSOP for balanced complexity, XO for premium depth. Consider flavor profiles—some cognacs emphasize fruit, others oak or spice. Budget versus premium. Our cognac experts recommend bottles matching your palate and occasion.
