"Bright amber color. Soft aromas of vanilla and coconut cream follow through on a round entry to a dryish medium-to-full body with sweet baking spices and a long satisfying and warm finish. Excellent." Silver Medal.

"Since 1724, the House of Remy Martin has been driven by one quest: to capture the heart of Cognac. We only use grapes from the most sought after vineyards, traditional distillation, longer aging in Limousin oak casks, and the Cellar Master's savoir-faire to produce a cognac of unique aromatic intensity: Remy Martin Fine Champagne Cognac." This special gift set includes two Remy Martin VSOP branded glasses.

"Our gin is handmade using a copper potstill, one small batch at a time. What makes our gin special is the mix of botanicals we use and the technique we use to infuse the flavors in the spirit. Our botanicals are all natural and carefully selected, measured and vapor infused into the spirit during distillation."

"Very pure and subtle, candied autumn fruit and dark berry aromas. A soft supple entry leads to a glycerous, super-smooth medium-to full-bodied palate with ripe dark fruit pie, wheat dough, cream, and a touch of talc. Finishes with a long fruity, spicy fade. A very pure, smooth, well styled, and delicious vodka."

"The first couple of whiffs pick up toasty notes of caramel, almond butter, cotton candy and very old oak; with aeration, more profound aromas develop including saddle leather, vanilla, Sherry and dark caramel. Palate entry is perfectly balanced and sweet; by midpalate the flavor profile is honeyed, slightly cocoa-like, buttery to the feel and utterly decadent. Finishes long, layered, creamy and dark chocolate bittersweet." 96-100 pts.

"Golden amber color. Fig, dried tropical fruit and flowers aromas with a nice layer of honey, ginger, and spice. A very smooth and round entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium body of pronounced sweet fig, dried papaya, and herbal honey flavors. Finishes with a long five spice, crystallized ginger, and pink peppercorn fade."
