Braastad Cognac, the nose of our master blender plays an important role in the making of our cognacs. Following the previous master blender, he oversees our stock of casks of cognac from different crus and of different ages to keep track of and to choose from when seeking perfection in our products. For instance, if he feels that the sensation of vanilla in his latest VSOP blend is a little low, he might track down an old cask containing a certain 15 year old Petite Champagne Cognac that he knows has a distinct tone of vanilla and use this to balance his VSOP blend perfectly.
