About this bottle

Shay VSOP Inaugural 2021 Edition marks Le Portier's first release under the Shay name, bottled at the VSOP designation — cognac aged a minimum of two years in oak. VSOP sits between VS and XO in France's official cognac age classifications, typically landing softer and more approachable than an older XO, with the dried fruit, vanilla, and light oak spice common to the tier. Specific production notes for this inaugural release aren't widely published yet, so treat these as general VSOP characteristics rather than tasting notes for this exact batch. It suits someone exploring cognac who wants real oak aging without an XO bottle.

How to drink Shay VSOP

VSOP cognac is traditionally sipped neat in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromatics, though a single large rock works fine if you prefer it slightly opened up. It also holds its own in a Sidecar or a simple cognac and soda if you'd rather mix it.

What the verse says

Good to know

Questions about this bottle

What glass should I use for Shay VSOP?

A tulip-shaped snifter or small wine glass works best — it narrows toward the top to concentrate the aromatics, which a wide tumbler won't do.

What does the VSOP designation mean?

VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) means the youngest brandy in the blend has aged at least two years in oak — it's the middle tier of France's official cognac age classifications, between VS and XO.

What cocktails work well with Shay VSOP?

A Sidecar or a French Connection are classic choices, and it also works in a simple cognac and soda for something lighter.
