Extra Cognac

Extra: 30 Years average Neat

An Extra Cognac has to be at least 6 years of age, just like an XO Cognac. In fact, if you want to be precise, it falls into the XO age denomination. But it describes a quality that is superior to an XO and a Napoleon.

The average age for an EXTRA Cognac ranges between 15 and 25 years. Of course there are always exceptions, for example if a Cognac brand choses to create a limited blend with old eaux-de-vie from their cellars. The next oldest age category is Réserve.
