Description
Courvoisier XO Imperial Cognac is a premium blended cognac produced by Courvoisier, one of the world’s most renowned cognac houses. It is a combination of eaux-de-vie (brandy) that have been aged for at least 11 years in French oak barrels in the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fin Bois regions of Cognac.
The XO in the name stands for “extra old”, meaning that the youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend have been aged for at least 10 years. This aging process gives the cognac a rich and complex flavor profile, with notes of dried fruit, spice, vanilla, and oak.
Courvoisier XO Imperial Cognac is a deep amber color, with a full and robust aroma that opens up to reveal layers of flavor. On the palate, it is smooth and silky, with a long and luxurious finish.
It is a cognac that is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, and it pairs well with a variety of foods, including cheese, chocolate, and dessert dishes. It is also a popular choice for cocktails, such as the classic Sidecar or the more modern Espresso Martini.
