Cognacs XO Page 1 of 2

XO Cognacs (Extra Old) are among the most prestigious categories. Since 2016, they must contain spirits aged for at least 10 years, with their average age often being 15–20 years in practice. The result is an extraordinarily complex spirit that ranks at the top among classic cognacs.

Taste and Character

XO Cognacs stand out with their elegant golden color and rich, multi-layered aroma. The taste reveals notes of dried fruits, nuts, cocoa, tobacco, and subtle spices. Compared to VS or VSOP, they are much more mature, with a long and aromatic finish that lingers on the palate long after a sip.

For Lovers of Uniqueness

XO is a category for connoisseurs seeking harmony and depth gained from decades of aging in oak barrels. If you want to elevate the experience even further, discover the exclusive Extra Cognacs or rare XXO Cognacs, which represent the absolute pinnacle of the art of cognac production.
