Camus XO Elegance Cognac (70cl, 40%)

For their XO Elegance expression, Camus use eaux-de-vie from all of Cognac's six crus to craft a luxurious, impressive brandy. Not only that, it's all rather well aged, resulting in plentiful notes of vanilla, ripe fruit and oak. Excellent as a postprandial drink...

Nose: Floral at first, slowly developing rich dark fruit elements.

Palate: Continued fruit dominated the palate, supported by a subtle nuttiness.

Finish: Vanilla, brandied cherries and the return of the floral touches.
