Camus Cognac Vs Intensely Aromatic 70cl

This is the kind of Cognac that makes your cocktails smell incredible before you even take a sip. Camus VS “Intensely Aromatic” is bold, fruit-forward, and packed with that fresh grape and citrus lift that makes Cognac & Brandy fun, not fussy!

Camus is a family house from France’s Cognac region, and they’re known for leaning hard into aroma, not just oak. The result is a younger-style Cognac that feels lively and expressive, with plenty going on for mixing, and enough character to keep you coming back for another sniff.

• Nose: Fresh grape, orange zest, white flowers, vanilla, and a hint of toasted wood.
• Taste: Juicy fruit up front (grape, apricot), then baking spice, caramel, and light oak warmth that keeps it grounded.
• Finish: Medium length, citrus peel and vanilla linger, with a gentle peppery spice at the end.

If you’ve ever made a Sidecar and thought “why does this feel flat?”, this is your fix. That extra aromatic punch pushes through citrus and sugar, so the drink stays bright instead of turning muddy. It also plays ridiculously well in a French Connection, where the almond-chocolate notes from amaretto get a lift from the Cognac’s orange-and-vanilla vibe.

Want a simple upgrade for your home bar? Swap this into any brandy-based classic where you want more fragrance, more fruit, and less oak heaviness. It’s also a smart pick for brunchy cocktails, think Cognac spiked with ginger, apple, or sparkling wine, because the spirit brings flavour without bulldozing everything else.

Camus VS sits in that sweet spot where Cognac still feels energetic and mix-friendly, but not thin. You get real layers, fruit, spice, and a touch of wood, and it doesn’t disappear the second you add ice or citrus.

Fun Fact: Camus is one of the largest family-owned Cognac houses, and they’ve built a reputation for emphasising intensely aromatic eaux-de-vie in their blends.
