Martell Blue Swift represents a bold leap in the world of spirits, seamlessly blending the elegance of French cognac with the rich heritage of American whiskey. This innovative expression begins with Martell’s esteemed VSOP cognac, which undergoes a unique finishing process in Kentucky bourbon casks. The result is a spirit that marries Martell’s signature smoothness with the distinctive characteristics imparted by bourbon cask maturation.
