The Richard Delisle XO Cognac is a smooth, indulgent and impressively aged expression, where the youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend is matured for at least 6 years before being bottled. Taking home both gold and silver medals at the two different International Wine & Spirit Competitions proves that this fabulous blend of eaux-de-vie is worthy of your attention and tasting. Boasting a super smooth finish with soft hints of candied fruit, this extra old Cognac serves ideal as a fresh summer aperitive.
The house of Richard Delisle is currently run by Alexis Cabanne who stands proud as the cellar master of the company and represents the fourth generation of the distillery. He developed the trading activity of spirits on the traditional market, and has allowed the brand to progress in leaps and bounds as today Cognac Richard Delisle is exported worldwide.
Presentation of the bottle
With its heavy glass design work and golden embellishment – the presentation of the XO Cognac could be mistaken for a large perfume of cologne bottle. As a result, the bottle is ambiguously feminine (perhaps to attract female drinkers) as it embodies glamour and expensive taste – making the perfect gift to yourself or someone special.
How to enjoy
With its round and fruity nose and fresh palette, try XO Cognac over ice or topped up with chilled tonic water in a wider balloon glass. The sweet and summery flavours of this eaux-de-vie are also complimented by strong cheeses, such as Roquefort and aged parmesan due to their full-bodied flavours and aromatic strength which match those of Cognac delectably.
