December 4, 2013 – Bisquit, the French heritage cognac House steeped in nearly 200 years of history, proudly announces that it has won the Master Award for its Cognac Bisquit VSOP at The Cognac Masters, presented by The Spirits Business. In addition to this prestigious recognition, the House was also presented a Silver Award for Cognac Bisquit VS. The medals were awarded today at The Spirits Masters Awards Lunch in London, with results to be published in the February 2014 issue of The Spirits Business Magazine (http://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/).

Bisquit VSOP has been increasingly recognized at the highest levels of international competition for the world’s best spirits. This most recent honour by The Spirits Business joins numerous other recognitions specifically for Bisquit’s VSOP. It was awarded the gold medal in2012 and the silver medal at the 2013 International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), making it the fifth year in a row for all of Bisquit’s products to be recognised by this prestigious awards body. Earlier this year, Bisquit VSOP was also awarded a gold medal at the 2013 Internationaler Spirituosen-Wettbewerb (ISW) awards in Germany.

“It is an honour for our VSOP to be recognised by such a prestigious global publication as The Spirits Business, which covers the most important spirits news around the world,” said Vincent Chappe, President of the House of Bisquit Cognac. “Bisquit VSOP is our most emblematic cognac and a perfect embodiment of Bisquit’s understanding of the importance of time, giving our cognacs the luxury of a longer distillation that offers a generous bouquet of aromas for a more smooth and supple cognac.”

Bisquit VSOP is a respected cognac which offers a bouquet of aromas expressed around a core of ripe fruits – dry apricot, honey – and sweet spices – cinnamon, clove – underlined with floral nuances such as rose. On the palate, Bisquit VSOP is appreciated for its subtle interplay of aromas, smooth and mellow with an everlasting finish.
