ST AGNES XO GRAND Reserve 40 year old brandy

ST AGNES XO GRAND Reserve 40 Year Old Brandy is a premium, ultra-aged XO expression. Four decades of maturation yield remarkable depth and poise. The color is a deep amber. On the nose, ripe dried fruits, cocoa, vanilla, and integrated spice mingle with leather and refined oak. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, with fig and prune sweetness, espresso, dark chocolate, and toasted spice. The finish is long and refined, with tobacco, cacao, and subtle oak lingering. A contemplative sipper, neat or with a touch of water.
