A blend of 125 different cognacs. Rich color that is almost brown. Amber fringes. Very complex nose. Layers of spice, vanilla, fruit, candied fruit, oak, and more. Medium bodied on the palate. The flavor is complex. Rich spicy oak mixes with vanilla, fruit, leather, earth, nutty sherry-like notes, baking spices, and subtle smoke. The finish lasts a very long time and continues to evolve on your palate. Great XO at a very competitive price.
