Martell replaces its 58-year-old VSOP with the Red Barrels

The Martell VSOP Aged In Red Barrels

It isn’t often that a major spirits brand replaces one of its flagship products, let alone one that has been around for more than half a century.

That is exactly what Martell is doing with its VSOP expression (VSOP stands for Very Special Old Pale, which are cognacs aged at least five years). The current one, Martell VSOP Medallion, will soon be phased out and replaced by the new Martell MVSOP Aged In Red Barrels.
