- Description
- Aged between 20 and 60 years in Limousin oak, this XXO shows the depth of extended maturation with black pepper, saffron, almond, and floral notes on the nose giving way to tobacco, fig, and warming spices on the palate. At 40% ABV, the texture is silky and complex, with oak providing structure rather than dominance. Reserved for serious Cognac collectors seeking maturity and contemplation.
