I've compared this one to Martell XO side by side... In conclusion, this one is silkier, softer, gentler, less intensity, lighter on nose and almost the same length of aftertaste, with totally different aromas. On nose, gently aromas of orange, orange marmalade and vanilla.. and after an hour or more, I got rancio aroma too. In mouth, the body isn't heavy but properly, with silky texture. The taste is nice with orange, orange marmalade, vanilla, candy fruits, hint of floral, light aroma of rancio and oak wood, with moderate to long aftertaste. Overall, I like this one for its gentleness and silky, and marmalade is something I do like personally (but with bread) so I'm satisfied with this one, except its price is a little higher than other XO I got.
