Courvoisier are the producers and purveyors of some of the most consistently acknowledged excellence in the cognac world. They proudly offer their XO cognac for your next special celebration or reunion with the best of friends. Aged in fine-grained toasted oak barrels, this spirit brings with it unexpected notes of delicacy, which can only be earned over time. Surprising notes of bitterly spicy iris grace the palate, which are accentuated by the aging process in the humid Cognac region. While the barrel toasting process imparts a brash and unapologetic nuance of vanilla or caramel to younger cognacs, the additional years of maturation allow the tight notes to relax, becoming the piercingly subtle aria of creme brulee on the tongue. This beautiful creation finishes with bright, staccato suggestions of candied orange, also an attribute of prolonged aging in toasted oak barrels. The entire masterpiece is undergirded by the round oakiness of the barrel character, a smokiness with the clarity of a summer twilight.
