From the Montifaud house in Cognac, this XO is built from carefully selected eaux-de-vie aged in French oak. The result is a deep, balanced Cognac with notable depth and a lengthy finish. On the nose, dried fruits, vanilla, and orange zest meet toasted oak; on the palate, prune, fig, cocoa, and spice unfold with refined sophistication.
