For years the Swift has been an icon for Martell, a symbol of the pioneering spirit that once inspired its momentous journey in 1783 – making it the first to ship its barrels of cognac to the United States. It guides us once again with this smooth liquid made of 100% Martell VSOP Cognac then finished in Bourbon casks from Kentucky. In tribute to the Bluegrass State, Martell Blue Swift combines Martell’s signature style of delicate fruit and plum notes with the subtle sweetness of vanilla and toasted oak from the bourbon casks.
