Cognac Park XO Cigar Blend

|

Cognac Park XO Cigar Blend provides a richer, sweeter option for those looking to explore the brand’s higher echelon Cognacs. While you don’t need to smoke a cigar while sipping this tasty tipple, we certainly wouldn’t suggest not having a couple puffs either.

Made using 100% ugni blanc grapes, the eaux de vie is composed of 70% Grande Champagne and 30% Petite Champagne. The Vieille Fine Champagne, as it’s dubbed, is bottled at 40% ABV and is aged in new then used French Limousin Oak.

Light honey scents and hints of saffron open on the nose along with notes of gingerbread, vanilla, and cranberry. The palate features caramel sweetness and spice that is followed by notes of orange zest and bark. The finish is long, nutty, and drying.

Cognac Park XO Cigar Blend food pairing

Cognac Park XO Cigar Blend should be enjoyed neat, possibly with a cigar in hand. If you’re looking to pair it with some food, the House recommends, Moelleux dark chocolate manjari; Madagascar; with delicate flavours of Espelette peppers, caramel milk with fleur de sel.
