Over 100 fine and rare Cognacs were tasted by the ‘noses’, using the tulip shaped glass
they had elected to be the best for tasting Cognac VSOP and XO in its pure form.
Once the
resulting 5,000 tasting notes were compiled and analysed, the final list revealed 63 aromas.
Of these, the five principle aromas that characterise Cognac were found to be: vanilla,
prune, caramel, orange and apricot.
Reinventing the wheel?
The format of the Cognac Aroma Wheel differs from other versions in that it categorises
aromas by seasons.
Cognac’s subtle floral notes recall spring, while its headier notes of apricots, citrus and
exotic fruit conjure up a warm summer’s day.
