10 Best VS Cognac Brands 2017

Cognac is a drink that is regarded for its exclusivity. Since it can only be made in a particular region of France, cognac has limited availability at times. The drinking selection becomes even more exclusive when you start to look at special cognac labels. There are various distinctions for cognac, which are designed to communicate the age of the alcohol being sold. A VS label is a mid-level distinction. It stands for "very special," and these cognacs have been aged for at least two years before being bottled. You can try the top VS cognac label from the list here.
