Tasting Notes
"The intoxicating aroma of this XO cognac is irresistibly inviting, with notes of baking spice and ripe fruit. The spirit is equally lush on the palate, with almond, apple, vanilla, and milk chocolate blending elegantly to a lingering finish. It's a great XO Cognac made for effortless enjoyment."
