1980's Remy Martin XO Special Double Magnum

1980’s Remy Martin XO Special 3 Litre (Double Magnum) with pourer Fine Champagne Cognac

85% Grand Champagne Cognac 10–35 y/o, average 23 years,

rich fruits confits, apricot, orange,and prune. So concentrated is the spirit that you don’t even have to put your nose into the glass so it’s

okay to put a little ice in the drink.

Nose. Sultanas, vanilla extract, almost-ripe grapes, sponge cake and a hint of rich Pedro Ximénez sherry.

Palate. Rich and spicy, with cinnamon and cloves. It also has some drying tannins, which tingle along the sides of the tongue, and some cooling menthol notes.

Finish. Rich, woody and lingering.
