Delamain Pale & Dry XO Cognac is a refined Extra Old Cognac from the House of Delamain in the Cognac region of France. Aged in old oak to preserve a pale color, it emphasizes elegance and dryness over heavy sweetness. Expect bright fruit and floral lift with a crisp, dry finish. Ideal as an aperitif or with light canapés, sipped neat or with a touch of water.
