The mere name of Courvoisier evokes images of a top-notch drink that's prized among those who know their Cognac. The XO brand lives up to those lofty standards, having captured multiple awards in tasting competitions around the world. The patience in waiting for this quality blend is certainly worth the minimum of two decades it takes to capture the true essence of this drink. The reward comes from the taste of creme brulee and candied orange that are evident, and are possible only by a careful maturation process that takes place on the banks of the Charente River. The creme brulee is the byproduct of the first notes of caramel and vanilla developing over the years. Meanwhile, the toasty atmosphere that surrounds the cask is one that offers up hints of delicious fresh bread. This drink is often best enjoyed after a hearty meal, in conjunction with a delicious dessert.
