Tasting Note
This blend, created with very old Cognacs from the Frapin family cellars, is harvested and distilled over lees before and aging in humid cellars which contribute to the spirit's roundness, expressive bouquet, and suppleness. With an average age of 30 years, the nose is floral with support from well-integrated oak. The palate is powerful with notes of gingerbread, chocolate, and dried fruit.
Distilled with the lees, the XO VIP is then aged at the estate in humid cellars for several decades, which gives it all its roundness and smoothness.
