If you want a quick introduction to Martell, this little bottle does the job nicely. Made in Cognac, it's the same VS expression as the full-size version, just in a smaller, easy-to-try format. Martell's style is known for being a bit lighter and fruitier than some other cognacs, with less heavy oak influence. A lot of that comes from using eaux-de-vie from the Borderies region, which brings in those softer, slightly floral notes. It's smooth, easy-going, and doesn't need much effort to enjoy - neat, over ice, or even with a simple mixer. Martell VS miniature is perfect if you just want a single serve or to see if it's your kind of thing before going bigger.
