Davidoff XO Cognac

Pair Davidoff Cognac XO with your favorite cigar...

Expertly concocted for the Swiss cigar company Davidoff, this refined XO has recently been revamped after being bought by the HINE estate, meaning more innovative production methods and therefore more intricate and exciting flavor profiles, the Davidoff XO carafe design has equally been modernized, in keeping with HINE’s contemporary vision.

Containing very old (minimum 10 years) and high quality eaux-de-vie, this Cognac pairs perfectly with a high end cigar. Boasting an average age of 20 years, the flavor profile is wonderfully harmonized, featuring fruity, spicy and woody elements, providing that classic earthy feel you'd find in any quality XO, lending itself particularly well to the leathery, tobacco aromas of a luxury cigar.

The smooth smoking experience of a classic Genevan Davidoff cigar is replicated when drinking this delightful XO. Every sip is luxurious and lengthy, perfectly balanced. Experience warm winter fruity fragrances with a complex nose of plum and prunes, hints of licorice, honey and cloves compliment the woody notes of red cedar that are the result of many years of maturation.

On the palate, plum and peaches provide a sweeter element to this XO, a powerful fruity punch that permeates the dominant woody, walnut and spiced flavor profile that ends on a long and persistent finish.

How to Enjoy

This Cognac has an excellent and sturdy body that pairs perfectly with a cigar, of course, we recommend trying it with a cigar from the Genevan luxury tobacco specialists Davidoff! Any of their "Aniversario" cigars would balance well with the aromatic richness of this XO, notes of leather and spices would complement the earthy, woody tones of the Davidoff XO Cognac.
