If you can sip and go in minutes... skip this one... and you're making mistake!! This Camus XO needs time, a lot I mean, to get it expresses in glass.. At first, its smell contains aromas of orange peel, orange zest, and distinctive smoke. Even the alcohol itself still not harsh, it's all gentle. After waiting for a long time... it shows aromas of vanilla, honey, caramel, floral, spice and interesting aroma of herbs.. with continuously smoke aroma. When sip it, it's a beautiful thing in mouth... with great body and very mellow... Very luscious with independent character.. very complex by all mean. Aftertaste is very long, with notes of smoke and herb more than vanilla and caramel in background. If loving complexness, like drinking good wine, and able to wait long, this is the one for you!!
