Delamain XO Pale & Dry Cognac
Delamain XO Pale & Dry is the flagship Cognac of Maison Delamain and an invitation into the world of ultra-premium Grande Champagne Cognacs. First created in 1920 by Jacques and Robert Delamain, this XO expression is crafted exclusively from eaux-de-vie sourced from the Premier Cru of Cognac: Grande Champagne. Aged well beyond the minimum 10 years required for XO, this blend is matured in old French oak barrels with both pre- and post-blending aging phases to achieve its renowned elegance.
This Cognac is made without added sugar or caramel, showcasing Delamain’s commitment to purity and authenticity. The result is a natural, aromatic spirit that expresses the full character of its terroir. Pale & Dry offers a powerful nose with notes of apricot, citrus, and roasted nuts, and a delicate palate that evolves gently with length and grace.
Presentation of the bottle
The Cognac is presented in a tall, clear bottle with an embossed glass seal and a soft blue capsule, housed in a vibrant blue box featuring gold details and an illustration of the Delamain estate. The packaging emphasizes both sophistication and authenticity, aligned with Delamain’s refined aesthetic.
How to drink
Delamain XO Pale & Dry is best enjoyed neat at room temperature. It suits contemplative moments and is ideal for experienced Cognac lovers as well as whisky drinkers seeking authenticity and artisanal expression. This is a Cognac made to explore slowly, without distraction.
