‘The Swift’ Could Be Australia’s Answer To The Classic Negroni Leave a comment
When it comes to dark spirits, the game is changing. Cognac, whisky’s smoother French cousin, is fast becoming the Australian gentleman’s drink of choice. Forget the ‘old man’ image: cognac, whether drunk neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail, is the perfect harbinger of good times.
Introducing Martell Blue Swift
Martell Blue Swift is the result, which lays claim to being the “first-ever spirit drink made of cognac VSOP and finished in bourbon casks.”
What does that translate to when you pour a glass? Before you even take the first sip you’ll be greeted with aromatic notes of banana and caramelised pear, which evolve to reveal further subtle sweet notes of vanilla, coconut and spices.
But the proof is in the tasting and upon your first sip, you’ll be able to pick up notes of ginger and candied fruit, with the unique finishing process using Kentucky bourbon barrels introducing a distinctive toasted oak flavour.
