Courvoisier XO is a cognac from Maison Courvoisier, blended from very old eaux-de-vie of the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Borderies crus and bottled at 40% ABV.
The house describes the XO as delicate, rich and complex, with autumnal aromas of crème brûlée, candied orange peel and iris flower, and a long, lingering finish.
Master of Malt's tasting finds apricot, toasted brown sugar and cacao nibs, then violet and strawberry, ending with orange, old oak and leather.
