"The original X.O since 1870, meaning Extra Old. Its intense and deep amber color is a sign of its strength. Its flavors of candied fruit and lightly spicy nose create a complete harmony. A smooth, full sensation gives a simultaneously powerful and soft tonality with a hint of cocoa and a warm, fruity presence. The long finish expresses all the complexity of the cognac's blending and its long ageing process. The 100 eaux-de-vie assembled to create X.O were aged for a long time - some for 30 years."
