Nose Stewed fruits on the nose, sweet spices, oiliness, white chocolate, walnut.
Palate Rich, soft and sweet oak with custard. The mouthfeel is like silk, and Preston Van Winkle likens this to a classic Cognac, and we reckon he’s onto something. The maturity, smooth/oily feel of this on the tongue, coupled with musty fruitiness sum up what we love about a decent XO, this is sublime.
Finish Good length, with hints of honeycomb, peppery spices and prune.
Overall Heaven!
