Description
Braastad XO Fine Champagne Cognac is a wonderfully spicy XO that's designated 'Fine Champagne'. This means that it's a blend of both Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie, with at least 50% of the blend coming from the premier cru.
A well developed, complex Cognac, with wonderful aromas of fresh fruit. This complexity evolves beautifully on the palate, with violet and vanilla tones evident. It's extremely well aged, with the components having an average age of between 15-20 years. The resulting sensory explosion tapers off with a delightully long finish. It's also beautifully presented, in a decanter-esque type bottle.

an XO for under $100 is hard to find but this one is really worth the money! A bit sharp in the end, but great and complex taste. if you like Martell you probably also like brastad XO.

About Braastad Cognac
In the heart of Grande Champagne in the village of Jarnac lies the impressive Chateau de Triac. The chateau is the home of Cognac Tiffon, to which the cognac brand Braastad belongs. Rubbing shoulders with other famous cognac houses such as Bisquit or Courvoisier, the brand Braastad was created when a Norwegian named Sverre Braastad married into the Tiffon family. Known for their devotion to the traditional cognac producing methods, today the whole process is still carried out at the family premises, and Cognac Braastad’s products are renowned worldwide.

Powerful, a good sense of rancio - and a very long after taste.
Tasting notes by Braastad:
Nose: Floral, combined with matured notes of tobacco and leather. Palate: Taste of liquorice and anise,baked apple and honey. Finish: Perfect balanced, creamy texture and long pleasant aftertaste.
Review Braasted Organic VSOP: Copper toned eye, flowers on the nose. A balanced VSOP, rather round, still a bit fruity, and sweet aromas.
