Although it might be the youngest of the entire Delamain range, the Delamain Pale and Dry XO has been matured for a quarter of a century to produce a very fine and elegant Cognac. With a distillate from Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes, it comes from the Grande Champagne - also known as the Premier Cru.
Aged on average for 25 years, the Pale & Dry XO Cognac is known for its pale color that is much lighter than you'd expect of a Cognac of this age. This is due to the natural phenomenon of the eaux-de-vie being matured in very old casks. The word 'dry' is somewhat of a paradox, because it's actually referring to the natural sweetness of the liquid.
The end result, however, is a Cognac that's truly round, intense, and mellow. It offers a real depth of character, combining delicacy with amazing fruitiness. If you enjoy a Cognac that's truly flavorsome, with good rancio, then give this one a try. A pure Grande Champagne blend, this is certainly a bottle that will hold its head up high at the smartest of gatherings.
They mature under optimal conditions in old barrels. The distillation is carried out gradually. Eaux-de-vie of the same age is then blended. The four factors all play a significant role - 25% being the distillate; 25% the barrel; 25% of the cellars and 25% the time taken. A fine assemblage aged over many years.
Enjoy this Cognac at room temperature as a digestif or with a cigar.
The bottle is a true ode to the Delamain Cognac savoir-faire, with a beautiful illustration adorned across the label. The bottle itself features an etching of a seal into its neck, and arrives in an equally as intricate presentation box.
Fascinating nose. Assam tea and fresh cut apple with citrus traces and a touch of hazelnut. Tannic and floral on the palate. Lots of complexity. It warms up as the finish develops with peppery spice and licqorice shaping its end. But there’s lime juice bursting through at times. It keeps changing...
Delamain Pale & Dry XO is unparallel value in the often, overpriced XO market. This is the quintessential British cognac, designed in 1920 for the British market. Pale and dry, just like I like my spirits. Very complex cognac. Nose: soft and elegant. Vanilla and poached pairs and red apples. Rose...
The most recognizable cognac for all I tried. Appearance: light, amber gold. Nose - dried fruits, vanilla, camomile. Palate - rich, juicy, bright and a bit spicy. Deamain's solution for eau-de-vieux assemblage works just fine. Finish - medium, inspiring for another sip. Good with coffee...
Until recently I was a VSOP drinker, but after reading many of the reviews posted here, I decided to expand my horizons to XO, Napoleon, and Extra. By way of comparison, I have tried and reported on Remy Martin XO, Courvoisier Napoleon, Daniel Boujou VSOP and Daniel Boujou XO, Frapin VSOP, and finally...
The first thing one notices after pouring a measure of this wonderful Cognac into a tulip glass is the color, which is a light golden tone, rather than the deep amber of many other brands of similar age and composition. The nose is lighter and reminiscent of spring orange blossoms, and a definite...
