Although it might be the youngest of the entire Delamain range, the Delamain Pale and Dry XO 300cl 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 300cl 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.
Arriving in a unique larger 3000ml tasting bottle, it comes in a really stylish creamy, classic presentation sleeve.
This Cognac can also be purchased in smaller bottle sizes of 20cl and 70cl.
