Martell Blue Swift is a groundbreaking expression that bridges the worlds of French cognac and American whiskey. Crafted from 100% Martell VSOP eaux-de-vie and finished in Kentucky bourbon casks, it is the first spirit of its kind from Maison Martell. The bourbon cask finish imparts layers of vanilla, toasted oak, and warm spice while preserving the house’s signature fruit-forward elegance. Because of this finishing process, it is classified as a spirit drink rather than Cognac under French regulations. Exceptionally smooth and approachable, Blue Swift is equally enjoyable neat, over ice, or as the foundation for elevated cocktails. Its fusion of classic cognac richness with bourbon-inspired sweetness makes it an excellent choice for whiskey drinkers exploring French brandy or cognac enthusiasts seeking something refreshingly different. 80 Proof/ 40% ABVTASTING NOTESNOSECaramelized pear, ripe banana, vanilla, coconut, toasted oak, and sweet baking spices.PALATECandied fruit, plum, ginger, creamy vanilla, caramel, and rich toasted oak with a full-bodied texture.FINISHLong and smooth with lingering vanilla, oak spice, caramel, and subtle fruit sweetness. 80 Proof/ 40% ABV
