Highlights

Jahiot’s XO Cognac is a blend of primarily 30-year-old vintages. A long aging process allows rich aromas and flavors to develop.

Nose: powerful aromas of candied fruits melt into delicate floral, chocolate, and ginger notes.

Palate: rich flavors of sweet citrus peel with hints of candied orange and apricot.

Pairs well with an apricot tart or fresh litchis. Or savor slowly as a digestif.
