Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinctive and pioneering spirit drink presents golden highlights over a base of warm copper — a colour that speaks eloquently of the unique dual heritage of Martell Blue Swift, the first-ever spirit drink crafted by maturing Cognac VSOP and then finishing it in Kentucky bourbon casks, celebrating Martell’s historic connection with the United States that began when the Maison first shipped Cognac to America in 1783.
Aroma
The nose is immediately captivating, with notes of banana and caramelised pear blending beautifully with subtle sweetness from vanilla, coconut and spices of genuine warmth and distinction. Distinct hints of ginger and candied fruit add a layer of complexity and intrigue, whilst toasted oak from the Kentucky bourbon casks adds a richly indulgent aromatic dimension that is entirely unique to Martell Blue Swift.
Palate
Full-bodied and generously expressive on the palate, with Martell’s hallmark delicate notes of candied fruit and plum complemented by the subtle sweetness of vanilla and toasted oak from the bourbon casks. Exceptionally smooth, with a rounded taste and unique character that seamlessly bridges the worlds of Cognac and American bourbon — a spirit drink of outstanding originality, balance and genuine distinction. The finish is warm, long and deeply satisfying.
Pairs With
Martell Blue Swift is a natural companion to classic cocktails, ginger beer, cola, dark chocolate, caramel desserts, or enjoyed neat or over ice as a smooth and distinctive digestif — perfect for any occasion that calls for something genuinely original, exceptionally smooth and boldly innovative.
