When classic French craftsmanship meets a dash of bold innovation, you get something like Camus VS Port Finish, a cognac that surprises from the very first sip. Rooted in five generations of tradition, Camus has always been a name that dances between elegance and intensity. With this limited edition port cask finish, they’ve taken their youngest cognac and sent it on an unexpected journey, one that ends in the sweet, ruby-hued depths of a Portuguese port barrel.

Camus VS Port Finish Cognac
Brand: Camus | Category: Cognac (VS, Port Cask Finish) | ABV: 40% | Origin: Cognac, France | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Opens with vibrant red fruit, think raspberry jam and plum compote, followed by delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of toasted oak and spice.
Palate: Juicy, velvety, and round, flavors of baked cherries, vanilla bean, and cocoa glide across the tongue, balanced by the elegant warmth of young eau-de-vie and a silky port sweetness.
Finish: Smooth and fruit-forward, with a soft spice and lingering berry tartness that fades like the last note of a jazz solo.

Production Details:
This VS Cognac begins as a classic Camus blend, made with high-aromatic eaux-de-vie, distilled on the lees to preserve richness. It’s then aged in French oak and given a secondary maturation in port wine barrels sourced from Portugal. The result is a beautiful union of Cognac and port that brings out a deeper fruitiness and smoother texture than typically found in a VS expression.

Perfect For:
A perfect pour for early evenings, whether you're relaxing on a rooftop at golden hour or kicking off a dinner party with friends. It also shines in creative cocktails, especially twists on a Sidecar or a French Manhattan.

Expert Notes:
Critics have called it a "refreshing and inspired take on VS Cognac," praising the port finish for adding unexpected depth and finesse. It’s proof that even young cognac can have serious charm.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ "Never thought a VS could be this smooth. The port finish is a total game changer!"
🗣️ "Fruity, fun, and just different enough. Poured it for my whisky friends, now they want a bottle."
🗣️ "Great price for something that feels way more premium than a typical VS."

Interesting Fact:
Camus is the largest independently owned Cognac house, still run by the Camus family after more than 150 years. Their Port Finish series is part of a broader experimental line that includes Cognac aged in sherry, bourbon, and even saké casks.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy it neat in a tulip glass to savor the fruit-forward aromas. For a refreshing twist, try it over a large ice cube with a splash of tonic and a twist of orange peel, the berry and spice notes sing beautifully.

Founded in 1863 in the heart of Cognac, France, Camus has always marched to the beat of its own barrel. Focused on high-aromatic cognacs and unique cask finishes, their distillery near the Borderies cru blends tradition and innovation like few others in the region. Whether you’re new to cognac or a seasoned sipper, Camus invites you to taste Cognac with curiosity.
