The abbreviation VSOP stands for Very Superior Old Pale, unofficially also referred to as Very Special Old Pale; the term is used in the distilling industry of the Cognac region to indicate the youngest brandy in a cognac blend has been stored for at least four years in its cask.

VSOP is the second grade of cognac; the first is VS (Very Special), or three-star, in which the youngest brandy must be stored at least two years, and the third is XO (Extra Old), in which the youngest brandy must be stored at least six years. On April 1, 2016, this requirement will be reset to ten years.
