Merlet VS 750 ml

Merlet is a family-owned Cognac house that's been distilling since the 18th century, smaller and less globally recognized than the big four houses like Hennessy or Rémy Martin, but well-regarded among Cognac enthusiasts for genuinely craft-scale production and a range that extends into fruit liqueurs alongside its Cognac. VS is the entry designation, legally requiring a minimum of two years' aging in French oak, and it's built to be a fresher, more fruit-forward style than older, more oxidative Cognac tiers. Expect lighter oak influence and brighter fruit character than a VSOP or XO, positioned as an accessible way into Cognac from a genuine independent producer.

How to drink Merlet VS

Use it in a Sidecar or French 75 — VS Cognac's brighter, fresher character works well in citrus-forward cocktails. Neat over ice is fine too if you want something simpler.
