Delamain XO shares with the House’s best cognacs the privilege of having being aged beneath the Grand Chai, an 18th-century building, with limestone walls offering ideal conditions of humidity and adaptation to variations of temperature, essential for the concentration of aromas. All eaux-de-vie is sourced from Grande Champagne, the only Premier Cru in Cognac.
Tasting Note
Fruity aromas of citrus, orange zest, and almond. On the palate, notes of candied fruit, jelly and melted raisins. XO is balanced and elegant with subtle oaky notes.
