Bisquit & Dubouché XO is a French XO (Extra Old) cognac from a house founded in 1819. It is an assemblage of aged eaux-de-vie from the best wine regions, matured for many years in oak. The colour is deep amber with refined highlights. The nose is layered and intense: candied fruit, dried apricot and fig, joined by honey, spice, vanilla and elegant oak. The palate is soft, rounded and velvety, with a long, warm finish. Serve at room temperature in classic cognac glasses — a tulip or a snifter — so the complex bouquet can open fully. The ideal companion is a good cigar or a bar of dark chocolate, both of which underline the depth of the spirit.
