The Meukow Cognac House was established over a century-and-a-half ago, and in that time they have built a reputation for producing masterful Cognacs. This XO is a perfect example, as it has been expertly double distilled, blended and aged, resulting in an exquisite flavour profile, worthy of the golden panther that adorns the bottle.
First nose had a beautiful vanilla apricot and pear, second knows it begin to open up with some nice spices third knows there was almost a chocolate flavor and a very light tobacco. First taste the vanilla and pear seem to really come through, on the second sip it really opened up and exploded with flavor , Much more complex than Cognac’s almost double the price, the downside would be the alcohol bite was a bit strong on the first taste but it has a beautiful lingering flavor, well worth the price if you can find it, the first three places I went to Said they can’t keep it on the shelves.
Smooth and light to the taste. Sipping as I write.
8/10
